-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles by which the neural tube (brain and spinal cord) develops during embryogenesis, including regionalization of the brain into forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord. Particular emphasis will be given to the mechanisms that govern how neurons acquire their identity and form neuronal circuits and synapses. Developmental and congenital diseases and possible therapies, including stem cell based therapy or gene therapy. Three lecture hours a week for one semester. Prerequisite: Biology 349 with a grade of at least C-, and Biology 365R or 371M with a grade of at least C-.
-

Students read primary scientific literature; collect, analyze, and present data; write detailed explanations of laboratory activities; and work in groups to design, execute, and present an experiment. One lecture hour and three laboratory hours a week for one semester. Prerequisite: Biology 325 or 325H with a grade of at least C-, and credit with a grade of at least C- or registration for Biology 361T or 365S.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the nervous system and other excitable tissues. Subjects may include membrane potentials, ion channels, synaptic transmission, learning and memory, skeletal and cardiac muscle, and how systems of neurons lead to sensation and motor output. Human diseases are used to illustrate perturbation of normal function. Three lecture hours and one discussion hour a week for one semester.
