Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Maryland College Park/LING272 Biophysics of Language (Spring)

Examines the nature of the mental representation of language in the physiology of the mind/brain, how it evolved, how it emerges in learners' minds, and how it decays through injury and illness. Insights from linguistics, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, animal behavior, molecular biology, and biophysics are brought to bear on how an abstract systematic behavior can arise within an animal brain.
