NEUROSCI 390-0-20	Neurobiology of Homeostatic Behavior	Brown	TTh 11:00 am -12:20 pm
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.
