For scheduled times of courses in other departments, go to CAESAR.
ATTENTION!
Registration begins on Monday, March 8th!
What happens if a class fills up during registration?
Place your name on the waitlist.
Wait to be contacted by the program assistant to see if you are able to register for the class.
Once contacted, you must either remove your name and register for the class or remove your name from the waitlist.
Why do asynchronous classes list "permission number only"?
Since students have been allowed back on campus, many of the courses offered during spring 2021 will be taught in-person or synchronous remote. If there is a valid reason a student may not attend the synchronous session, a student may request a permission number from the program assistant to register for the asynchronous section.
the reason you may not attend the synchronous section
your preregistration or registration times
Once approved by the Instructor and Dr. Kilman, the program assistant will issue the permission number. Please do NOT contact the Instructor or Dr. Kilman directly. All reasons for requests are confidential and will only be shared with the Instructor and Dr. Kilman.
NEUROSCI 206-0-21 Systems and Behavioral Neuroscience
This course explores current understanding of the organization and function of neural systems (visual, auditory, motor, etc.) within the mammalian nervous system. Topics will include basic neuroanatomy, sensory processing, motor control, and higher cognitive functions including memory and language. Time will be devoted to presentation of essential knowledge from each area as well as to a discussion of key experiments that have contributed to our understanding. May not receive credit for both this course and the former NEUROSCI 306-0/BIOL_SCI 306-0. Prerequisite: NEUROSCI 202-0 or NEUROSCI 311-0 or BIOL_SCI 302-0.

Time will be devoted to presentation of essential knowledge from each area as well as to a discussion of key experiments that have contributed to our understanding. May not receive credit for both this course and the former NEUROSCI 306-0/BIOL_SCI 306-0. Prerequisite: NEUROSCI 202-0 or NEUROSCI 311-0 or BIOL_SCI 302-0.
NEUROSCI 303-0-20 Molecular Mechanisms of Neuropsychopharmacology
Advanced seminar focusing on molecular mechanisms and aberrations of synaptic signal transduction and drugs that target them. Prerequisite: NEUROSCI 202-0 or NEUROSCI 311-0 or BIOL_SCI 302-0.
NEUROSCI 326-0-20 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 355-0-60 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.
Genetics of Human Behavior will be taught by Marco Gallio, PhD. In this course we will delve into the genetic determinants of human behavior. We will discuss how “nature” (the genetic makeup) and “nurture” contribute to shape individual behavior and explore the implications of this interaction at the level of society, from philosophical and ethical aspects to medical and legal considerations. We will often follow a historical perspective to understand how our thinking on this subject has changed with the advancement of scientific knowledge and with the evolution of what we think is acceptable in society. Please go to Caesar for more details related to this course.
The Biology of Sleep will be taught by Dr. Ravi Allada. This course is complementary to NEUROSCI 324-0. This course is a literature-based seminar course that deals with genetic, physiological, pharmacological, and behavioral approaches to sleep, with particular emphasis on the role that genes play in regulating sleep. Registration for this course requires permission of the Neuroscience Director of Undergraduate Studies. May be used as a Group B elective. Prerequisites: NEUROSCI 324-0
