-
3.00 Credits
(Same as PSYCH 120.) Neural interactions underlying behavior. Prerequisites: PSYCH 1 or basic biology. GER:DB-NatSci 4 units, not given this year
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 254, NBIO 254.) For advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Cellular and molecular mechanisms in the organization and functions of the nervous system. Topics: wiring of the neuronal circuit, synapse structure and synaptic transmission, signal transduction in the nervous system, sensory systems, molecular basis of behavior including learning and memory, molecular pathogenesis of neurological diseases.

-
3.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 257.) The biochemistry of plants relevant to their physiology and cell biology. Topics include: the biosynthesis, assembly, function, and regulation of cell walls; lipids; pigments; photoreceptors; transporters; and the response of plants to pathogens and stresses. Prerequisite: Biology core or equivalent, or consent of instructors. GER:DB-NatSci 3-4 units, Spr (Mudgett, M), alternate years, not given next year
-
3.00 Credits
For advanced undergraduates and coterminal students. The principles of nervous system development from the molecular control of patterning, cell-cell interactions, and trophic factors to the level of neural systems and the role of experience in influencing brain structure and function. Topics: neural induction and patterning cell lineage, neurogenesis, neuronal migration, axonal pathfinding, synapse elimination, the role of activity, critical periods, and the development of behavior. Prerequisite: BIO 42 or equivalent. GER:DB-NatSci 4 units, Spr (McConnell, S; Shen, K; Garner, C), alternate years, not given next year
-
3.00 Credits
(F,Sem) Stanford Introductory Seminar. Preference to freshmen. Lack of public understanding of the details of most environmental problems is cited as a cause of environmental deterioration. Good citizenship requires literacy about the elements of the scientific and decision making processes that accompany most environmental issues: what can happen, what are the odds, how can the credibility of sources of expertise be assessed, which components of environmental debates deal with factual and theoretical issues, and which are political value judgments GER:DB-NatSci 3 units, Win (Schneider, S)
-
3.00 Credits
Focus is on the molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of diverse cell types and tissues during embryonic and post-embryonic animal development. The role of cell-cell communication in controlling key developmental decisions. Embryonic axis formation, cell fate specification, regulation of tissue and animal size, tissue regeneration, and the evolution of developmental mechanisms. Experimental logic and methods of research in developmental biology. Discussions of research papers. Prerequisite: Biology core or consent of instructor. GER:DB-NatSci 4 units, Win (Simon, M)
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of BIO 160A. Focus is on the molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of diverse cell types and tissues during embryonic and post-embryonic animal development. The role of cell-cell communication in controlling key developmental decisions. Embryonic axis formation, cell fate specification, regulation of tissue and animal size, tissue regeneration, and the evolution of developmental mechanisms. Experimental logic and methods of research in developmental biology. Discussions of research papers. Prerequisites: Biology Core and BIO 160A, or consent of instructor. GER:DB-NatSci 4 units, Spr (Simon, M)
-
3.00 Credits
Across molecular, cellular, organismal and communal biological scales, communication among elements of a system is required for its function. The molecules and logic at the heart of communication at levels from the interactions between cells in a developing body to how organisms perceive and respond to their physical environment and the organisms around them; how these systems normally work and how failures in communication result in and from disease. Current research literature. Prerequisites: BIO 41, 42. Recommended: BIO 160A, 129A. 4 units, Spr (Bergmann, D), alternate years, not given next year
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 263, HUMBIO 163.) The field of neuroethology and its vertebrate and invertebrate model systems. Research-oriented. Readings include reviews and original papers. How animal brains compare; how neural circuits are adapted to species-typical behavior; and how the sensory worlds of different species represent the world. Prerequisites: BIO 42, HUMBIO 4A, or equivalents. GER:DBNatSci 4 units, alternate years, not given this year
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 264.) Physiological, ecological, and physical aspects of ecosystem function, emphasizing how ecosystems influence and are influenced by the atmosphere. Prerequisites: 42, 43; or consent of instructor. GER:DB-NatSci 4 units, Win (Field, C; Berry, J), alternate years, not given next year
