Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field focused on understanding the structure and function of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Course examines theories and principles related to the neural mechanisms controlling physiological processes and behavior. Topics covered include cellular neurobiology, neuronal signaling, neural development and plasticity, comparative neuroanatomy, and neurobiology of complex brain functions. Previous coursework in physiology recommended. Same course as PSYC 4073. May not be used for degree credit with BIOL 5073 or PSYC 5073.Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1114 or (BIOL 1113 and BIOL 1111) and either (CHEM 1215, CHEM 1314, or CHEM 1414).

This course examines foundational theories and principles related to the neural mechanisms controlling physiological processes and behavior. Topics covered include cellular neurobiology, neuronal signaling, neural development and plasticity, comparative neuroanatomy, and neurobiology of complex brain functions such as sensory processing, arousal, emotions, learning, and memory.
