BIOL 2001 — - Introduction to Neuroscience
BIOL 2001 aims to introduce students to the structure and function of the nervous system. Topics include molecular, cellular, physiological, behavioral, and computational mechanisms of the brain, brainstem, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Mammalian, insect, and other models are discussed. Topics are covered broadly to develop an appreciation of the wide variety of areas that researchers pursue, as well as introduce the methods that are used in the laboratory as a preparation for BIOL 2262 (Neuroscience Methods). Lecture: 3 hours
