Formal logic and informal logic. The study of abstract logic together with the construction and deconstruction of everyday arguments. Logical symbolism and operations, deduction and induction, consistency and inconsistency, paradoxes and puzzles. Examples drawn from law, philosophy, politics, literary criticism, computer science, history, commercials, mathematics, economics and the popular press. Discussion section enrollments limited to 15.

This course investigates how the brain regulates the production and release of hormones, as well as how hormones act on the brain to affect behaviors such as aggression, affiliation, parenting, sexual behavior, feeding and learning. Concurrent enrollment in NSC 324 is recommended when both courses are offered. Prerequisites: NSC 210 and one of BIO 200, BIO 202 or BIO 230, or equivalent. Enrollment limited to 20.

The course examines the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind neurodegenerative diseases and describes the basic anatomy and physiology of the brain and nerves. Students dive into the roles that cell quality control plays in neuronal health by exploring the function of the proteasome, lysosome and autophagy in neurodegeneration. Additionally, the course looks at how inflammation can perpetuate and maintain the chronic state seen in neurodegeneration by examining the roles that microglia and astrocytes play in brain health.

This course covers contemporary methods and questions in human neuroscience across the lifespan. This course deeply examines several areas of human neuroscience rather than a broad overview of the field. Students focus on the following domains of study: memory, neural plasticity, decision-making and social cognition. The course examines human neuroscience methods and research to understand domain in 1) healthy young adults 2) across development and 3) in aging, disease and brain damage. The course is designed around class discussion and critical analysis of research findings.
