4.00 Credits
Prereq: C OR BETTER IN BIOS 414. Neural mechanisms of sensation (vision, hearing, touch, etc.) and movement control (balance, locomotion, orienting, reaching, etc.). In each class, students hear a lecture and discuss assigned articles from the research literature. A major goal of the course is to train students in critical analysis of primary journal articles. 4 lec.

4.00 Credits
Prereq: C- OR BETTER IN BIOS 415. Neural basis of higher-order process in humans and other vertebrates: learning and memory, perception, attention, emotion, motivation and reward, language, decision-making, consciousness. Students learn to understand cognitive processes by integrating current research at behavioral, systems, and cellular levels. A major goal of the course is to train students to evaluate and to participate effectively in critical discussion of current research literature. 4 lec.

4.00 Credits
Prereq: BIOS 414 & (MATH 263B OR MATH 266B). Lecture, discussion, and computer lab. Introduction to mathematical and computational techniques for modeling single neurons and networks of neurons. Cable theory; Rall's model; compartmental models; introduction to available software for simulating neurons and networks of neurons; modeling of action potentials, Hodkin-Huxley equations, synaptic conductances, and voltage-dependent conductances; Hebbian synapses; synaptic modification rules; quantal analysis; neural networks. Students are expected to complete a simulation project using one of the available software packages. 3 lec, 2 lab arr.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to computer modeling and simulation in biological research. Designed to illustrate the power and limitations of computer simulation by having students code (in MATLAB) simulation programs for a number of different biological phenomena. Quantitative models used include those of enzyme kinetics, population biology, population genetics, diffusion models, and compartmental models in physiology. 3 lec, 2 lab. Prerequisites: 23 HRS BIOS & (MATH 263B OR 266B) & SR Credit Hours: 4 General Education Code: 3 Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts. Note: Effective Summer Quarter 2010-11 (June 2011) any non-repeatable course may be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
5.00 Credits
Prereq: BIOS 321. Semi-independent course gives the microbiology and clinical lab science major extensive experience in the use of standard microbiological equipment and techniques. Experience will be gained in media preparation, bacterial identification procedures, eucaryotic tissue culture, anaerobic methods, protein and DNA isolation and quantitation - all with an applied emphasis. 2 lec, 6 lab. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: C- OR BETTER BIOS 321. A molecular approach is used to discuss bacterial pathogenesis and disease manifestations. Topics include some aspects of immunity and pathogen control. 2 lec, 6 lab. May be retaken three times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
2.00 Credits
Prereq: BIOS 321. Pathogenic and clinical diagnostic bacteriological techniques. Complements the lecture material in 423A. 4 lab. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: C- OR BETTER (BIOS 320 & 325). Course intended to familiarize students with the principles of virology and focuses on human and animal viruses. Emphasis is placed on the molecular events following virus-cell interaction, which are critical to viral replication and pathology. Topics also include viral evolution, novel infectious agents, use of viruses for gene therapy, and modern methods of studying viruses. 3 lec.
-
2.00 Credits
Prereq: BIOS 424A OR CONCURRENT. Limited to microbiology majors, others by perm if seats available. 4 lab. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq: BIOS 325 & PSY 221. Basic concepts of population genetics (mutation, gene flow, natural selection, genetic drift). Rates, patterns, and processes of molecular evolution at the population and species level. 4 lec.
