Students learn about the organization and functioning of the central nervous system, its relationship to motivation and behaviour and the effects of various “drugs.” The course focuses upon the “fundamental concepts” associated with the study of addictive behaviour and mental health and relates these to personal and societal biases regarding psychoactive drugs and drug use. The information gained in the course provides students with the ability to assess the impact of drug use on psychosocial functioning.
