Biological Sciences

This course covers the basic concepts and principles of the methods and techniques used in social neuroscientific research, which include electroencephalography, structural and functional neuroimaging, non-invasive brain stimulation, hormone administration, eye scanning, and measurements from the autonomic nervous system. This course provides a basis for other courses including neuropsychology, biological psychology, clinical and health psychology, cognitive neuropsychiatry, and cognitive neuroscience. The following topics are reviewed: functional electroencephalography, structural and functional neuroimaging, psychophysiology, non-invasive brain stimulation, psychoneuroendocrinology, and integrative neuroscience.

This course provides knowledge of key topics in cell biology with a strong emphasis on molecular and biochemical aspects, to equip students for more detailed studies of cell biology in advanced courses, to give students experience of some experimental techniques that are used to research cell structure and function, and to develop students’ skills in accessing and understanding primary scientific literature, analysis of data, and scientific writing.

This course is designed for students wishing to clarify and advance their career goals through an 8-week internship in Thailand. It provides a structured learning environment to help students make the most of their internship experience. While there are no regularly scheduled class meetings, internships are conducted under the close academic supervision of the School of Global Studies at Thammasat University. An assigned internship coordinator provides oversight and guidance for the duration of the internship. The course requires a minimum of 288 total work hours. 

This course examines physiology, focusing how the major organ systems work in the human body. Topics include cellular, neural, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal physiology, and provides a study of the basic and essential mechanisms to maintain life from cell to human.

This course covers human anatomy, histology, and embryology, and it explores the structure and development of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and urinogenital systems. Clinical and comparative aspects are introduced to draw out the relationship between structure and function. The course provides a strong anatomical foundation from which to explore issues relating to developmental biology and evolutionary morphology.
