Academic Year 2003/2004
Behavioral Neurobiology
NS&B 213 SP
This course will introduce the concepts and problems of contemporary research in the field of neuroscience and behavior. The course is intended for prospective neuroscience and behavior majors (for whom it is required)
and
for nonmajors who wish a broad introduction to neuroscience. It provides general education credit as an NSM course, but is NOT designed specifically for non-science students. The initial few weeks will be devoted to
fundamental
concepts of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Subsequent classes will deal in depth with fundamental problems of nervous system function, including the control of movement, sensory organization and perception,
neurochemical
basis of behavior, and learning and memory. Where possible, questions of nervous system development as related to behavior will be discussed. Experimental results from a variety of species will be considered.
MAJOR READINGS
Bear, M., Connors, B.W. & Paradiso, M.A. NEUROSCIENCE: EXPLORING THE BRAIN
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Three tests, two during semester, one during finals week, will be given. Weekly sections will be available for review and for study of brain anatomy.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
