NEUROSCI 206-0-2 Systems and Behavioral Neuroscience
Introduction to the organization and function of brain systems and their role in generating behavior. Prerequisite: NEUROSCI 202-0 or NEUROSCI 311-0 or BIOL_SCI 302-0.
Embryology and cellular/molecular mechanisms of nervous system development. Topics include patterning of the early nervous system, neurogenesis, neuronal differentiation, wiring of neural circuits, activity and experience-dependent development and sex differences in early and late development. Prerequisites: BIOL SCI 215-0 and one of the following: NEUROSCI 202-0, NEUROSCI 311-0, or BIOL_SCI 302-0.
NEUROSCI 324-0 Neurobiology of Biological Clocks and Sleep
This course will examine the general properties of sleep and circadian rhythms and will analyze how sleep and the circadian clock regulate a number of diverse activities at the level of the cell, the organ, as well as the organism. May not receive credit for both this course and the former BIOL_SCI 324-0. Prerequisite: NEUROSCI 202-0 or NEUROSCI 311-0.
NEUROSCI 326-0 Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Molecular and neural bases of memory. Taught with BIOL_SCI 326-0. May not receive credit for both NEUROSCI 326-0 and the former BIOL_SCI 326-0. Prerequisites: NEUROSCI 202-0 and NEUROSCI 206-0; or NEUROSCI 311-0 and NEUROSCI 206-0; or BIOL_SCI 302-0. This class is available to Neuroscience Majors or Biology Majors only.
NEUROSCI 355-0 Neurogenetics of Behavior Laboratory
Project-based laboratory investigating the genetic basis of behavior in a simple model system; molecular genetic techniques used in neurobiology. Prerequisites: NEUROSCI 202-0 and NEUROSCI 206-0; or NEUROSCI 311-0 and NEUROSCI 206-0; BIOL_SCI 302-0.
NEUROSCI 390-0-20 Neurobiology of Homeostatic Behavior
The nervous system monitors internal states (such as body temperature, blood pressure, and nutrient and water balance) and drives behaviors to maintain homeostasis of these states, which is essential to life. This course will investigate the structure and physiology of neural circuits that orchestrate this elaborate balance, including central nervous system pathways and peripheral autonomic pathways. Students will also learn to evaluate the scientific literature and communicate key research findings both in writing and through oral presentations. See description in Caesar for more information. Prerequisites: Students are required to have completed both NEUROSCI 202-0 and NEUROSCI 206-0 or NEUROSCI 311-0 and NEUROSCI 206-0.
NEUROSCI 390-0-20 may be used as a Neuroscience Group B elective or may be used as an Allied Field in Biology.
Supervised laboratory on methods research with a faculty member. Requires permission of the Neuroscience Director of Undergraduate Studies.

NEW COURSE OFFERING IN SPRING 2019
NEUROSCI 390-0-20 Topics in Neuroscience will be taught by Dr. Justin Brown.
Topic:Neurobiology of Homeostatic Behavior classes will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 pm until 1:50pm.
The nervous system constantly monitors internal states (such as body temperature, blood pressure, and nutrient and water balance) and drives behaviors to maintain homeostasis of these states, which is essential to life. This course will investigate the structure and physiology of neural circuits that orchestrate this elaborate balance, including central nervous system pathways and peripheral autonomic pathways. Students will also learn to evaluate the scientific literature and communicate key research findings both in writing and through oral presentations. This course may be used as a Neuroscience Group B elective or applied as an Allied Field in Biology.
Prerequisites: Students must have completed NEUROSCI 202-0 and NEUROSCI 206-0 or NEUROSCI 311-0 and NEUROSCI 206-0.
NEUROSCI 206-0 news!
NEUROSCI 206-0 Common Final will be held on Thursday, June 13th at 7 pm!
Due to the popularity of the course, NEUROSCI 206-0 will now be available Spring 2019, Winter 2019 and Spring 2020. The course will be limited to declared neuroscience majors only!`
