NEUR 240
Neuroscience I
(1)
This course begins by exploring the neuron and its unique cellular
processes; neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, and
neuroplasticity will be covered. We will then attempt to understand
selected homeostatic (e.g., eating), cognitive (e.g.,
sensation/perception, learning/memory), and emotional processes (e.g.,
reward, stress, and depression) at and across integrated levels of
analysis (genetic, physiological, chemical, anatomical, and systems).
Prereq : BIOL 120, 130, CHEM 101, 102, or PSYC 100 and permission of the instructor;

Neuroscience I Tutorial
(1/2)
This is a 0.5 credit tutorial that will be offered concurrently with the
Neuroscience I course for students who have not completed the lower level
biology and chemistry courses. This course will explore in depth concepts
in chemistry, biology, and physics that relate to the neuron and its
unique cellular processes.
Prereq : PSYC 100 and concurrent enrollment in Neuroscience I;
J.Thorn;
NEUR 241
Neuroscience II
(1)
This course extends the topics covered in NEUR 240, including
neurophysiology, neurochemistry, and neuroanatomy. Additionally it will
introduce the history and methods of neuroscience to interpret
experimental results in the primary literature. We will also examine how
the brain can sense the environment and control the motor system.
Prereq : NEUR 240, BIOL 120 and 130, and CHEM 101 and 102;

NEUR 340
Methods of Neuroscience
(1)
This laboratory course focuses on the methods used for neuroscience research. Biochemical and electrophysiological techniques are examined. Data analysis, interpretation and scientific writing will be performed from the experiments done.

NEUR 360
Synapses
(1)
Synapses are the location of neuronal communication. These sites also are
the primary loci for a cellular correlate of learning and memory and the
actions of drugs of abuse. We will examine the biology, physiology and
plasticity these fascinating regions.

NEUR 399
Research in Neuroscience
(1/2 or 1)
A one- or two-term experience in which students, with the aid of a
faculty member, conduct original neuroscience research. The process
includes reviewing the literature, generating hypotheses, collecting and
analyzing data, and presenting results in written and oral form.
Prereq : NEUR 340 and either BIOL 210 or PSYC 282;
