NEURL-UA 220 - Behavioral and Integrative Neuroscience

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Lecture course that focuses on how the brain uses both sensory and stored information to generate behavior. Lectures and laboratories cover four main areas: sensory process, learning and memory, motivational and attentional mechanisms, and the motor system. Laboratories employ a range of electrophysiological techniques, lesions and pharmacological manipulations, and various behavioral techniques to examine the integrative processes by which the brain governs behavior. Note: Neural science majors in the honors track must register for both the lecture and the laboratory (4 and 2 points, respectively), but these need not be taken synchronously; nonmajors and non-honors-track students may only register for the lab section with permission of the instructor. A grade of B or better in Introduction to Neural Science (NEURL-UA 100) is required for entrance to the laboratory section. Registration is controlled for all students and requires approved access by the director of undergraduate studies and departmental authorization for enrollment.
