'Biology of Neurological Diseases will explore the molecular and cellular basis of neurological diseases. We will investigate the biological mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. We will focus on animal models used to investigate pathogenic mechanisms and the biology underlying therapeutic strategies. This class will rely heavily on primary research articles and in-class discussions.'

'This comprehensive survey course 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.'

'This course investigates the many-layered levels of the city of Rome's complex history from its origins to the twenty-first century, focusing on the period beginning in 1420 when the rebuilding of the devastated medieval city begins and gradually gives rise to Rome of the Renaissance and the Baroque. Special attention will be given to the social and political history of Rome, its catastrophes and triumphs, paupers, princes and popes, myths, legacies, and deep secrets.'

'This is an introduction to differential equations for students in the mathematical or other sciences. Topics include first-order equations, second-order linear equations, qualitative study of dynamical systems, and first- and second-order linear partial differential equations.'
