This first-year seminar will involve discussion of current research from multiple disciplines (e.g., education, neuroscience, neurobiology, psychology) on topics such as brain development, stress, sleep, rhythms, and emotion/motivation. Mini-lectures will provide students with a basic appreciation of the brain and basic bioregulatory systems.
