  • AS 020.209: Dinosaurs

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    This course covers all of the major groups of dinosaurs, from Triceratops to T. Rex and its relatives living today, birds. It will also cover the origins of the group, their near demise 65 million years ago, their behavior, growth, and development, and a history of their study.

  • AS 020.296: Foreign Gene Expression

    2.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    This laboratory will introduce molecular cloning techniques that allow bacteria to be used to produce a particular gene product. Recombinant plasmids, carrying a fusion protein gene, will be constructed and used to transform competent E. coli, and the gene products isolated. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. Biology majors have priority. This class will meet 9 am to noon and 1 pm to 2 pm.

  • AS 020.305: Biochemistry

    4.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Prereq: 030.101-102 The molecules responsible for the life processes of animals, plants and microbes will be examined. The structures, biosynthesis, degradation and interconversion of the major cellular constituents including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids will illustrate the similarity of the biomolecules and metabolic processes involved in diverse forms of life.

  • AS 020.306: Cell Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    How the molecules of living systems are organized into organelles, cells, tissues, and organisms will be explored, as well as how the activities of all of these are orchestrated and regulated to produce “life”—a phenomenon greater than the sum of its parts. Considerable emphasis is placed on experimental approaches to answering these questions. Topics covered include biological membranes, cytoskeletal elements, cell locomotion, membrane and protein traffic, the nucleus, second messengers, signal transduction, cell growth, the cell cycle, the extracellular matrix, cell contacts and adhesion, intercellular communication, epithelial structure and function, and the cell biology of early development and organ function. Prereq: AS.020.305.

  • AS 020.312: Intro to the Human Brain

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    This course explores the outstanding problem of biology: how knowledge is represented in the brain. Relating insights from cognitive psychology and systems neuroscience with formal theories of learning and memory, topics include (1) anatomical and functional relations of cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, limbic system, thalamus, cerebellum, and spinal cord; (2) cortical anatomy and physiology including laminar/columnar organization, intrinsic cortical circuit, hierarchies of cortical areas; (3) activity-dependent synaptic mechanisms; (4) functional brain imaging; (5) logicist and connectist theories of cognition; and (6) relation of mental representations and natural language.
