What Does Your Immune System Have to Do with Your Behavior?

The immune system does more than protect you from illness—it shapes how you think, feel, and act. This course uncovers the evidence connecting immune function to behavior, equipping you with a new perspective on human decision-making, mood, and well-being.

What You Will Learn

Examine the direct and indirect ways the immune system influences behavior, from mood shifts to cognitive changes. Dive deep into the biological pathways—like cytokine signaling and neuroimmune interactions—that bridge physiology and psychology.

You’ll gain a critical understanding of research findings, learn to interpret experimental data, and discuss real-world implications for health, education, and workplace performance. Every lesson is designed to be actionable and evidence-based, giving you tools to translate these insights into your own professional context.

Expand your expertise at the intersection of biology and behavior—unlock new ways to understand yourself and those you work with.
