Neuroscience & Behavior 892B - S-Synapses,Circuits,&Behavior

In this course, we will consider the molecular and cellular mechanisms necessary for proper development and function of synapses and neural circuits in the brain and how information processing through these largely static structures can be reconfigured and modulated to permit organisms to modify behavior. Our discussions of nervous system function will consider not only the normal brain, but how disruption of synaptic and circuit function contributes to disease.

Open to Graduate Students in the Neuroscience and Behavior program only. While the class is designed for graduate students, interested undergraduates can sign up with permission from the instructors (prerequisite: Neurobiology BIOLOGY 572).
