  • NEUR 306: Principles of Neural Development with Laboratory

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Beltz, Paul This course will discuss aspects of nervous system development and how these relate to the development of the organism as a whole. Topics such as neural induction, neurogenesis, programmed cell death, axon guidance, synaptogenesis and the development of behavior will be discussed, with an emphasis on the primary literature and critical reading skills. Laboratory sessions focus on a variety of methods used to define developing neural systems. Students may register for either NEUR 306 or BISC 306 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisite: 200 or [ NEUR 213/BISC 213] or BISC 216 or permission of instructor. Distribution: Epistemology and Cognition or Natural and Physical Science Semester: Spring Unit: 1.25

  • NEUR 315: Neuroendocrinology with Laboratory

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Tetel Hormones act throughout the body to coordinate basic biological functions such as development, differentiation and reproduction. This course will investigate how hormones act in the brain to regulate physiology and behavior. We will study how the major neuroendocrine axes regulate a variety of functions, including brain development, reproductive physiology and behavior, homeostasis and stress. The reg-ulation of these functions by hormones will be investigated at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Laboratory experiments will ex-plore various approaches to neuroendocrine research, including the detection of hormone receptors in the brain and analysis of behavior. Students may register for either NEUR 315 or BISC 315 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisite: 200 or [ NEUR 213/BISC 213], or both BISC 110 and BISC 203, or permission of instructor.

  • NEUR 320: Vision and Art:Physics,Physiology,Perception,and Practice with Laboratory

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Conway This course will investigate the form and function of the human visual system by considering a unique product of this system: visual art. The course will examine the nature of the physical stimulus to which the visual system is responsive, the physiological mechanisms that capture this signal and convert it into perception, and how this process is revealed in the practice of art. As part of laboratory exercises investigating the resolution and sensitivity of your own visual system, a discipline called psychophysics, students will engage in making their own art and will learn to articulate the mechanisms by which they do so. The interdisciplinary nature of the course will require an ad-vanced level of student participation, commitment, and self-directed learning. Prerequisite: 100 or by permission of instructor.

  • NEUR 332: Advanced Topics in Neuroscience

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Beltz Topic for 2009-10: Neuroscience and the Law. This course will examine how the field of neuroscience impacts legal decision-making, including aspects of neuroethics. Advances in neuroimaging and physiological techniques now allow us to assess mental states in a varie-ty of circumstances. With increasing frequency, these data are presented to the courts to challenge a defendant's competency or culpabili-ty in criminal cases, or to establish grounds for injury claims in civil suits. Legal proceedings often include evidence that an individual's brain is not functioning within the ?normal? limits, or claims that brain-wave patterns can distinguish deceit from truth. Discussion topics will include an examination and assessment of current neuroimaging and neurophysiological techniques. Can these methodologies realistically define ?normal? brain activity Are neuroimaging methods that purport to reveal our thoughts or behavioral tendencies an encroachment on our civil liberties Ultimately, we will ask whether neuroscience discoveries can transform the law by redefining ?free will? and ?responsib ili-ty.? Prerequisite: NEUR 213/BISC 213] or by permission of the instructor. Not open to first year students. Distribution: Epistemology and Cognition or Natural and Physical Science Semester: Fall Unit: 1.0

  • NEUR 335: Computational Neuroscience with Laboratory

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Wiest The electrical activities of neurons in the brain underlie all of our thoughts, perceptions, and memories. However, it is difficult to measure these neural activities experimentally, and also difficult to describe them precisely in ordinary language. For this reason, mathematical models and computer simulations are increasingly used to bridge the gap between experimental measurements and hypothesized network function. This course will focus on the use of mathematical models and computer simulations to describe the functional dynamics of neu-rons in a variety of animals. Topics will range from single neuron biophysics to the analysis of circuits thought to underlie sensory percep-tion and memory. Topics will be introduced by background lectures, followed by student-led presentations of primary literature and con-struction of a computer model of the system studied. Lab will introduce students to computer programming of mathematical models in MATLAB and the neuron-simulator NEURON. Prerequisite: 200 or [ NEUR 213/BISC 213] and calculus at the level of MATH 115, or by permission of instructor. No programming experience is required.

    Wellesley College

    Bauman The course combines the study of biomechanics and anatomic kinesiology. It focuses on the effects of the mechanical forces that arise within and outside the body and their relationship to injuries of the musculoskeletal system. In addition to the lectures, laboratory sessions provide a clinical setting for hands-on learning and introduce students to the practical skills involved in evaluating injuries, determining methods of treatment and establishing protocol for rehabilitation. An off-site cadaver lab reinforces identification of anatomical structures. Academic credit only. Prerequisite: None Distribution: None Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0
