Sensory Neuroscience
Sensory cells monitor the environment to trigger behaviors required to feed, avoid danger and thrive. This interactive course combines lectures with instructor-led discussions of research from the scientific literature. Our goals are two fold. First, we will present current concepts in sensory neurobiology by illustrating how different sensory inputs govern homeostasis and behavior. Second, though discussions of scientific data, the course will foster critical thinking skills, and provide practice in drawing logical, evidence-based conclusions.
