-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Selected topics in Islamic law and jurisprudence. The topics vary from year to year, but the course normally includes reading of fatwas and selected Islamic legal texts in Arabic.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The course explores selected topics in the history of the Arab East from the 18th century to the present.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The seminar is a study of the origins and development of the Ottoman state. The emphasis is on the characteristic features of its cultural, economic, and social life, as they were developed in the eastern Balkans. By retracing the establishment of Ottoman rule in Northern Greece it will examine the nature of Ottoman Administrative practices in the 14th and 15th centuries.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This seminar is a comparative survey of the political, intellectual, religious, and cultural transformations of the lands of the Near East and Eurasia from the late seventeenth to the early twentieth centuries. The course investigates the common geopolitical, economic, and intellectual challenges that Western Europe posed to the societies of the Near East and Eurasia. It seeks to understand the responses of the latter on their own terms, and to relate them to each other. The course aims to stimulate students to move beyond regional particularities and think outside the models and assumptions provided by European historiography.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This lecture and laboratory course will acquaint non-science majors with classical and modern neuroscience. Lectures will give an overview at levels ranging from molecular signaling to cognitive science with a focus on the neuroscience of everyday life, from the general (love, memory, and personality) to the particular (jet lag, autism, and weight loss). The laboratory will offer hands-on experience in recording signals from single neurons, examining neural structures, and analysis of whole-brain functional brain imaging data.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to the brain; structure and function of sensory and motor systems; neural signaling; brain development; issues in behavioral neuroscience.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to cognitive brain functions, including higher perceptual functions, attention and selective perception, systems for short- and long-term memory, language, cerebral lateralization, motor control, executive functions of the frontal lobe, cognitive development and plasticity. Major neuropsychological syndromes (e.g., agnosia, amnesia) will be discussed.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A survey of fundamental principles in neurobiology at the biophysical, cellular, and system levels. Lectures will address the basis of the action potential, synaptic transmission and plasticity, local circuit computation, sensory physiology, and motor control. A central theme will be the understanding of systems phenomena in terms of cellular mechanisms.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to the biophysics of nerve cells and synapses, and the mathematics of neural networks. How can networks of neurons compute? How do we model and analyze data from neuroscientific experiments? Data from experiments running at Princeton will be used as examples (e.g., blowfly visual system, hippocampal slice, rodent prefrontal cortex). Each topic will have a lecture and a computer laboratory component.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This lab course complements NEU 501A and introduces students to the variety of techniques and concepts used in modern neuroscience, from the point of view of experimental and computational/quantitative approaches. Topics will include synaptic transmission, fluorescent and viral tracers, patch clamp recording in brain slices, optogenetic methods to control neural activity, and computational modeling approaches. In-lab lectures give students the background necessary to understand the scientific content of the labs, but the emphasis is on the labs themselves. Second half of a double-credit core course required of all NEU Ph.D. students.
