BI 349 - neuroendocrinology

Institution:

Skidmore College

Subject:

Description:

Hormones act throughout the body to coordinate basic biological functions such as development, reproduction, and metabolism. This course will investigate how hormones work in the brain to regulate physiology and behavior. We will study the molecular bases of neuroendocrine regulation, with a focus on how the hypothalmic-pituitary-gonadal axis functions to regulate reproduction, homeostasis, metabolism, and stress. Laboratory sessions will explore various approaches to neuroendocrine research, including detection of hormone receptors in the brain and assessment of biological functions through bioassays. Prerequisites: BI106, BI242 or BI244 (both recommended), and one other 200-level biology course; for neuroscience students: NS101, BI105, and BI244. The Department
