Systems neurobiology is the study of how networks of neurons function, and how these networks mediate sensation, movement and higher-order functions such as decision-making, language and emotion. Course material focuses primarily on the neuroanatomy, functional organization and evolution of the vertebrate brain. Students demonstrate their mastery of course material through group work, discussions of the primary literature, and short writing projects. Prerequisites: NSC/PSY 210 and BIO 200 or 202 or permission of the instructor.
