0.00 Credits
An intensive survey of the life and works of the three composers whose music and philosophies on music helped define a musical culture in France during the early years of the 20th century. A working knowledge of French is useful, but not required. Prerequisite: Music 301, 311, 312 and 313 (313 may be taken concurrently). 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
No Course Description Available. 1.00 units, Independent Study

1.00 Credits
Recent developments in neuroscience have revolutionized our views of familiar human experiences such as locomotion, substance abuse, mental illness, sleep, and memorization. Through highly enjoyable and selected readings, presentations by visiting faculty, demonstrations and other activities, we will explore the foundations of this field as well as recent discoveries. The overall objective of this course is to provide students with a basic understanding of neuroscience, enabling them to make important decisions that may affect their lives. Only first-year students are eligible to enroll in this class. 1.00 units, Lecture

25.00 Credits
Recent scientific research indicates that a worm has 302 neurons, snails have long-term memory, and elephants can hear through their feet. This course will draw on current research in neuroscience to explain why information about other animals is relevant to our lives. Selected readings, lectures and class discussions will provide a basic understanding of the human nervous system and how research on animal systems has yielded this knowledge. Laboratory exercises will introduce the students to nervous system anatomy and function through dissection and experimental techniques. A basic understanding of biology and chemistry will be helpful, but this course has no pre-requisites. The lab is mandatory. First-year students are given preference. 1.25 units, Laboratory
-
0.00 Credits
A team-taught introductory course in neuroscience that will examine the neuron and its biological interactions in animal nervous systems. Topics will include the anatomy, development, chemistry, and physiology of nervous systems. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L, or Biology 203L or Permission of Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
50.00 Credits
This course will cover basic clinical neuroanatomical structures. We will attend neuropathology rounds at Hartford Hospital and observe human brain dissections. We will also perform laboratory exercises such as dissecting sheep brains and performing computer neuroanatomy simulations. Structures will be discussed in terms of functions and neurological pathologies with appropriate readings. All students will create a brain atlas of their own. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152 or 153. 0.50 units, Laboratory
-
1.00 Credits
This course will explore the subject of animal behavior from various perspectives: evolutionary biology, psychology and neuroscience. The ultimate and proximate mechanisms that influence animal behaviors will be demonstrated by looking at vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Particular attention will be given to the behavior of humans and other primates. Topics to be covered include learning and memory, predation and foraging behavior, mating behavior and parental care, sociality, communication, and aggression. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory course that will introduce the student to current methods and techniques used in neuroscience research. The course consists of three-week rotations in the laboratories of staff members. Among the topics to be covered will be radioligand binding assays, neurochemical assays, electrophysiology, psychobiological techniques, experiments in perception, and methods in cognitive science. This course is normally taken in the junior year. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
0.00 Credits
A selective exploration of dynamic biological and psychological interactive mechanisms of various behaviors. Specifically, the course will focus on the functional outcome of the asymmetrical brain; a multilevel analysis, from molecules to minds, of learning and memory; the study of emotions and the interaction between stress and health as studied in psychoneuroimmunology. Prerequisite: Psychology 261 or Neuroscience 201. Prerequisite: C- or better in Psychology 261 or Neuroscience 201. 1.00 units, Lecture

3.00 Credits
The brain is the one organ in our body that controls nearly everything we do - how we think, feel, learn, perceive the world around us, form beliefs, prejudices, fall in love, form noble ideas, etc. To know how the brain participates in these various functions it is necessary to know how the brain is constructed. This course will examine the basic organization of the human brain as a model of the structure of a vertebrate brain. It will provide a good foundation for functional and comparative studies of the brain offered in other courses in biology, neuroscience and psychology. The principal mode of instruction will be through lectures supplemented with computer-based materials, videotapes and models of the brain. The associated laboratory will offer the opportunity of examining whole and dissected human brains, along with histological preparations of important brain regions. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152 or 153. 1.00 units min / 1.25 units max, Lecture
