Please title this page. An area of controversial research in the past century has been whether there are fundamental differences between females and males.
Sexual dimorphism is a term that refers to physical differences that exist between the genders.
We are all aware of certain anatomical differences between the genders, but the objective of this course is to examine primary sources regarding sexual dimorphisms in the structure and function of the nervous system. We will examine a variety of species ranging from amphibians to humans. We also will study a number of dimorphic behaviors related to nervous system differentiation, including the biological basis of the expression of human sexual behavior. This course provides the opportunity to explore the interactions between hormones, the nervous system, and behavior. This course may be taken alone, or as part of a Junior Symposium.
