3.00 Credits
Laboratory, three hours; discussion, one hour. Introduction to cancer drug screening using cellular models and confirmation of comprehensive therapeutic efficacy using a live animal model. Includes basic cell culture, cytotoxicity assays, cell analysis, drug circulation test, and tumor eradiction and imaging experiments. Prerequisites: Biological Sciences M170A and M170B, or Pharmaceutical Sciences M170A and M170B, or consent of instructor. Same as Pharmaceutical Sciences M174L.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lecture, two to four hours. Studies in selected areas of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences 98 or consent of instructor. May be taken for credit three times as topics vary.
-
2.00 Credits
Lecture, two hours. In-depth exploration of the intellectual tools used to create, advance, and disseminate knowledge about the nervous system. Develops analytical, reasoning, and communication skills by exploring fundamental issues of data interpretation in cellular, molecular, systems, and behavioral analyses of brain function. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences N110.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, two hours; seminar, one hour. Brains obviously differ between different species, yet many commonalities exist. Surveys species similarities and differences in brain organization, then extracts some general principles of how brains evolve. Emphasis placed on vertebrate brains and on the functional implications of neuroanatomical change. Concurrent with Neurobiology and Behavior 243 and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology 243.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. An overview of the conceptual and technical foundations of contemporary neuroscience from ancient times to the present. The subjects include synapses, neurons, brain organization, sensory, motor and regulatory systems, learning and memory, human brain function and dysfunction. Prerequisites: Biological Sciences 35 or N110, or Psychology and Social Behavior P115D, or Psychology 9A-B-C, or consent of instructor. Concurrent with Neurobiology and Behavior 255.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. Focuses on neural mechanisms in sensory cortex at the cellular, synaptic, and systems levels that contribute to sensory processing and attention to sensory stimuli. Covers four topics: neurophysiology of sensory cortex and thalamus; diffuse modulatory systems and neuromodulation; arousal: integration of channels, neurons, systems; sensory processing during attention. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences N110.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. Multidisciplinary introduction to brain mechanisms of hearing, taught by faculty from the Center for Hearing Research. Emphasizes breadth of auditory function and research: single neurons to psychoacoustics, the cochlea to the cortex, and basic science to clinic issues. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. Survey of neurotransmitter systems, focusing on how transmitters are made, how they interact with their receptors, and how drugs can influence these processes to alter neural function and behavior. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences N110.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. Nature and actions of genes and gene products that regulate the functioning of the nervous system and its interaction with muscles. Topics include: neural control of gene expression; genetics and molecular biology of neural and neuromuscular diseases; gene therapies for neural disorders. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences N110.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. How the brain and behavior change as a result of experience, with an emphasis on identifying the neurochemical processes through which memory is stored and the parts of the brain that are involved. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences 35 or N110. Same as Psychology 162A.
