Systems Neuroscience

Undergraduate

This course will provide students with an understanding of the structure and function of various neural circuits and systems that make up the central nervous system of an organism. Students will learn how different neural circuits process sensory information, form perceptions, execute movements, and perform high-level mental functions. Students will also learn how dysfunctions of neural circuits underlie a wide range of neurological diseases. This course will provide the necessary background for upper-level BIOM neuroscience courses. (Prerequisite: BIOL-2480 or BIOM-2400). (3 lecture hours per week).
