The book is available in the Rutgers bookstore, located in Bradly Hall. Some lecturers have also assigned additional readings. Copies of these will be placed in the CMBN library. Please do not remove them except to make copies. There is one exam and one paper in each section.
Exams are largely objective.
The maximum time allotted for each exam is 3 hours. Make-up exams are not given . The papers are to be in the general form of a short review article of the sort that one might find published in, for example, Brain Research Reviews or Trends in Neuroscience. There are many different acceptable formats, but the paper should review and discuss, in a comprehensive fashion, some clearly defined subject matter. As with all review articles, in addition to recapitulating the results of the papers contained within, the paper should attempt to synthesize from the literature a coherent picture of the subject being covered.
