This course introduces neural systems, from simple pathways to more complex, three dimensional mammalian neuronal networks. Much of the course builds upon the basic principles of neurophysiology, and incorporates concepts such as synaptic organization, chemical coding of neurons, neuronal development and migration, as well as neuronal disorders. Select regions of both the central nervous aystem and the autonomic nervous system will be covered in detail. The goal is to review some basic principles in neurobiology and from there, advance to higher and higher levels of neuronal organization, within both invertebrate and vertebrate animal models. Finally, current understanding of human neuropathology will be introduced, in through various examples, among them depression, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, the current treatment options available, and how they work. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in either Neuroscience 201 or Biology 182 1.00 units, Lecture

This half-credit course considers current neuroscience research on topics ranging from clinical research to molecular biology. Students will attend presentations by neuroscience researchers and read and discuss pertinent research literature prior to each presentation. Some special scheduling arrangements will be necessary for activities outside of the regular class meeting time. Prerequisite: Neuroscience major or Permission of Instructor. 0.50 units, Lecture

-
0.00 Credits
An interdisciplinary course investigating the chemical processes involved in central nervous system functioning and communication. Emphasis will be placed on the chemical aspects of synthesis, metabolism, and release of neurotransmitters. The role of neurochemistry in behavioral and neurological disease states will be evaluated. Current research topics in this area will also be presented. Prerequisite: C- or better in Neuroscience 201, Chemistry 211, or permission of the instructor 1.00 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
An advanced study of individual cells and small networks of cells in the nervous system. Specific topics include the development of neurons and glia, the cellular physiology of communication in the nervous system, and characterization of molecules responsible for unique properties of neurons. These cellular and molecular processes will be examined through lectures, student-led presentations, and laboratory experiments. Prerequisite: Open only Juniors and Seniors who have earned a C- or better Biology 153L or Biology 203L. 1.00 units min / 1.25 units max, Lecture
