Do you ever wonder how your brain is organized? How neurons communicate with one another, and function together, or what goes wrong in different neurological diseases. This course is an introductory survey into neurobiology, from molecular and cellular mechanisms to nervous system organization and animal behavior. We will delve into foundational knowledge about nervous system anatomy, physiology, connectivity, and function that can be built upon in future upper level courses. This course fulfills the IE criteria by requiring collaborative problem-solving using real-word bioinformatic tools, and developing oral and written communication skills.

This course is open to BIOLOGY majors only. Biology 151/161H & 152/162H wC Not for credit after Psych 330.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
