3.00 Credits
This course begins by exploring the neuron and its unique cellular processes; neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, and neuroplasticity will be covered. We will then attempt to understand selected homeostatic (e.g., eating), cognitive (e.g., sensation/perception, learning/memory), and emotional processes (e.g., reward, stress, and depression) at and across integrated levels of analysis (genetic, physiological, chemical, anatomical, and systems). Prereq: BIOL 120, 130, CHEM 101, 102, or PSYC 100 and permission of the instructor; A 0.5 credit tutorial will be offered concurrently with this course for students who have not completed the lower level biology and chemistry courses.; H. Hoffmann, E. Penick
-
0.50 Credits
This is a 0.5 credit tutorial that will be offered concurrently with the Neuroscience I course for students who have not completed the lower level biology and chemistry courses. This course will explore in depth concepts in chemistry, biology, and physics that relate to the neuron and its unique cellular processes. Prereq: PSYC 100 and concurrent enrollment in Neuroscience I; J. Thorn

3.00 Credits
This course extends the topics covered in NEUR 240, including neurophysiology, neurochemistry, and neuroanatomy. Additionally it will introduce the history and methods of neuroscience to interpret experimental results in the primary literature. We will also examine how the brain can sense the environment and control the motor system. Prereq: NEUR 240, BIOL 120 and 130, and CHEM 101 and 102; E. Penick
-
3.00 Credits
This laboratory course focuses on the methods used for neuroscience research. Biochemical and electrophysiological techniques are examined. Data analysis, interpretation and scientific writing will be performed from the experiments done. Prereq: NEUR 241; E. Penick
-
3.00 Credits
Synapses are the location of neuronal communication. These sites also are the primary loci for a cellular correlate of learning and memory and the actions of drugs of abuse. We will examine the biology, physiology and plasticity these fascinating regions. Prereq: NEUR 241; E. Penick
-
3.00 Credits
A one- or two-term experience in which students, with the aid of a faculty member, conduct original neuroscience research. The process includes reviewing the literature, generating hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting results in written and oral form. Grade is withheld (NR) until full credit is earned. Prereq: NEUR 340 and either BIOL 210 or PSYC 282; W; May be repeated up to two times for up to 1 credit; STAFF
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the three major philosophical systems of East Asian thought: Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism through their canonical texts. This historical approach will be supplemented by contemporary readings in each tradition. When taught as a component of the Japan Term, this course will pay special attention to the development of Japanese Buddhism, specifically Pure Land Buddhism (Amida Buddhism), Esoteric Buddhism (Shingon Buddhism) and Zen Buddhism (Soto and Rinzai). CL: RELS 114; W. Young
-
3.00 Credits
An exploration of the enduring philosophical questions regarding the nature of reality, the existence of the external world, the extent of human freedom, the existence of God, the definition of the Good and its relevance to the moral life, and the principles of social and political organization. HUM; STAFF
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the contested frameworks that govern our environmental policies. Critical questions are: Is there a land ethic Do animals have rights Do we have ethical obligations to natural objects Special attention is given to the major arguments of libertarian, utilitarian, and liberal-pluralist social philosophies and to the policies and practices of contemporary environmental activists. HUM; CL: ENVS 118; L. Factor
