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.
