  • BIOL 340: Animal Behavior

    4.00 Credits
    Viterbo University

    4 Cr. Six hours of lecture/discussion/lab per week. This course focuses on the mechanisms and evolution of animal behavior, including neural, hormonal, and genetic substrates of behavior; foraging; antipredator defenses; mating systems and sexual selection; social behavior; communication; parental care; kin selection and recognition; and territoriality. Laboratory exercises will complement topics in lectures and emphasize the observation, description and quantifi cation of behavior in a variety of animal species.

  • BIOL 353: Introduction to Neuroscience

    3.00 Credits
    Viterbo University

    3 Cr. Neuroscience is the study of how the central nervous system regulates behavior and mental processing. It emphasizes the biological structures and functions of the brain and nervous system in health and disease. This course is an introduction to the mammalian nervous system. Topics include: basic mechanisms in cellular neurophysiology, electrophysiology and chemistry of nerve signals, mechanisms in integration, simple nervous pathways, physiological mechanisms determining refl ex action, emotions, locomotion, motor skills, thinking language, effects of drugs, internal secretions, and neural lesions on behavior. Prerequisites: four credits of BIOL (numbered 200 or higher); four credits CHEM. Restricted to students with junior standing or higher.
