Psychology & Brain Sciences 891NE - S-AdvTopics:ComparBehavNeuroen

The focus of this course will be on recent advances in "Comparative Behavioral Neuroendocrinology." We will use primary peer-reviewed literature to explore the wide variety of neural circuits and hormonal modulation of those circuits that have evolved in the vertebrate lineage, including teleosts, amphibians, birds, and mammals. Along the way, students will increase familiarity with the contemporary methods in this field and sharpen critical thinking skills.

Open to Graduate students only.
