This PowerPoint fully supports our popular Biopsychology Section of our Popular Student Paper 2 Workbook and covers the following:

Week 1 - The influence of genes on behaviour

  1. The influence of genes on behaviour. Genotype and phenotype, genetic basis of behaviour, evolution and behaviour
  2. The influence of biological structures on behaviour
  • The divisions of the nervous system: central and peripheral (somatic and autonomic).
  • The structure and function of sensory, relay and motor neurons. The process of synaptic transmission, including reference to neurotransmitters, excitation and inhibition.
