About this subject

The ability to sense and respond to our environment is critical to the survival of all living things, from the simplest of single-celled organisms to complicated animals like us. In this subject, you will explore how we sense our environment, and how our brains use this information to guide behaviour. You will focus on three broad areas; first, you will investigate the senses, smell, taste, vision, hearing, and touch. Then, you will learn how hormones affect multiple body systems to prepare us to act on our environment and the internal processes that keep our bodies working efficiently. Finally, you will uncover the mechanisms of emotions, learning, and memory. This subject consists of self-guided online lessons and timetabled workshop classes. It is typically taken by students in their first year.
