Introduction to Biological Bases of Psychology

4.5K
Biopsychology serves as a vital bridge connecting the intricate domains of biology and psychology, shedding light on how biological systems influence psychological phenomena. This field scrutinizes the biological substrates of behavior and mental processes, emphasizing the nervous system along with the roles of neurotransmitters, hormones, and genetics. It also incorporates evolutionary perspectives to explain the adaptive nature of mental functions.
The nervous system, the cornerstone of...

What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

24.0K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

17.7K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Synthetic Biology

5.5K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia

519
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Genetic Factors in Schizophrenia
The genetic basis of schizophrenia is strongly supported by family and twin...

Biological Influences on Intelligence01:30

Biological Influences on Intelligence

493
Intelligence is often thought to be linked to brain size, but the relationship is more complex than that. While brain size does correlate modestly with some abilities, like verbal skills, the connection is weaker for others, such as spatial reasoning. Other factors, like brain structure, also play crucial roles. For instance, despite Einstein's smaller-than-average brain, his parietal cortex, which is involved in spatial reasoning, was 15% wider, suggesting that neural density might matter...

Area of Science:

  • Biology Education
  • Undergraduate Research

Background:

  • Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) integrate authentic research into curricula.
  • CUREs provide research opportunities to diverse student populations early in their academic careers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation and evaluate student outcomes of the UM Authentic Research Laboratories (UMARL) biology CURE.
  • To assess the impact of UMARL on research skills, personal development, and academic success.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a long-running biology CURE (UMARL) at the University of Miami.
  • Utilized a national survey to measure student learning gains in research skills and personal development.
  • Analyzed academic outcomes, comparing UMARL students to a matched group from traditional labs.

Main Results:

  • UMARL students reported high learning gains in data analysis, science communication, self-confidence, and self-efficacy.
  • Students in UMARL showed 1.5-1.7 times greater odds of engaging in individual research.
  • UMARL participation was associated with increased likelihood of graduating with a STEM degree within 4 years and graduating with honors.

Conclusions:

  • The authentic nature of UMARL fosters student confidence and persistence in STEM fields.
  • CUREs like UMARL are effective in enhancing both research competencies and academic achievement.
  • Integrating authentic research experiences early in undergraduate education can significantly impact student success.
