BIOL 56200 Neural Systems

Offering:
Spring, Credit 3.0

Prerequisites:

BIOL 23100 or 27000 or BIOL 23000 and BME 30100  Note:  BIOL 295(E) -Biology of Living Cell- may be substituted as a prerequisite for BIOL 23000.  Please see your advisor.  Also note that PSY 12000 is recommended as a pre-requisite for this course. 

Description:

This course will focus on questions regarding how the functions of the individual cellular components of the nervous system are integrated in the brain and nervous system to produce behavior and higher mental functions.  The course will address the structure and function of specific neural systems such as the motor systems, somatosensory systems, visual and auditory systems, learning and memory, and higher cortical function.  It will draw extensively on subject matter concerning the molecular and cellular biology of the nervous system presented in BIOL 43600, Neurobiology, while combining and integrating this material with the relevant neuroanatomy.
