Neuroscience & Behavior 100 - Intro to Neuroscience

Introduction to Neuroscience will be a comprehensive survey course that explores the brain and the biological basis of behavior. We will examine the anatomy of the nervous system and the unique properties of the cells that make up the brain. We will discuss the mechanisms by which individual brains cells communicate with each other, and how small networks of cells underlie more complex processes such as perception,learning, and behavior. In labs, students will perform experiments that expand upon and reinforce these ideas through hands-on exercises.
