Description:

In this course, we will study aging as a developmental process defined by changes in the anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of the brain as well as age-associated changes in behavior. We will also examine the biological basis of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, associated with the brain's aging process. The basis of our learning will be the formation of questions, discussions and review of the current literature, and field experiences with aging populations.
