This course will introduce the concepts and problems of
contemporary research on the neural control of behavior. The
course is intended for prospective neuroscience & behavior
majors (for whom it is required) and for nonmajors who wish
a broad introduction to neuroscience from the viewpoint of
behavior. 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.
