The course will provide a critical overview of current approaches to the study of Systems Neuroscience. The topics will include the discussion of connectivity, neurophysiology, and the behavioral measures of sensory and motor systems, memory and attention. The class will meet for two hours three times a week for lecture, and for two hours once a week for a discussion section. Students will also participate in gross brain dissection. Other Requirements NSC 581.
All students serve as a teaching assistant for at least one semester.
This experience provides an opportunity for students to acquire and develop skills in teaching and course management in neuroscience. Course director permission is required. Lab Rotations in Neuroscience Credit - variable Faculty Students consult with the advisory committee to plan their rotations. Laboratory rotations are intended to familiarize students with a technique, to gain an appreciation of different scientific approaches to a problem, and to gain exposure to an area of research that eventually leads to a focused area of investigation. The objective is to gain experience discussing and critically evaluating primary research articles covering a broad range of topics in neuroscience.
