1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Five courses in biology. The seminar introduces students to the interdisciplinary nature of modern neuroscience with an emphasis on the various neuroscience research activities that take place at Loyola University Chicago, and reviews current neuroscience research topics. Outcome: Students will demonstrate understanding of the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of modern neuroscience, and the research questions and experimental approaches used at the Lakeshore and Medical Center campuses. Students will complete one midterm essay and one final essay exam that will reflect their understanding of the topics discussed in the seminars.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 251 and 282 Lecture and laboratory. Fundamental concepts of microbial life, physiology, and metabolism. Outcome: Students will learn the differences between the 3 domains of life and will comprehend the biochemistry, morphology, growth characteristics, structure and ecology of microbes.

1.00 Credits
Pre- or co-requisite: BIOL 251 The seminar introduces students to the interdisciplinary nature of modern neuroscience with an emphasis on the various neuroscience research activities that take place at Loyola University Chicago, and reviews current neuroscience research topics. Outcome: Students will demonstrate understanding of the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of modern neuroscience, and the research questions and experimental approaches used at the Lakeshore and Medical Center campuses.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 251. The analysis of developmental processes such as; fertilization, embryonic cleavage, cell determination and cell differentiation in selected species. Emphasis will be on experiments that reveal how these processes are controlled at the molecular and cellular levels. Outcome: Students will become familiar with a wide range of developmental biology principles and experimental approaches that led to important discoveries, gain an appreciation of the scientific method, and learn about the goals of modern developmental biology research.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite; STAT 203 or 335 An introduction to modern-day extensions of simple linear regression and ANOVA to the chi-square test including logistic regression and log-linear modelling techniques based on generalized linear models. Methods for matched-pair, small datasets, ordinal and multi-category data also discussed. This course focuses on applications using real-life data sets, and uses popular software packages.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 102, 112, PSYC 306, and PSYC 240 or 305. A ¿hands on¿ experience with the instrumentation, measurement techniques and experimental designs used in electrophysiological studies of nervous system function.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 282, 302 and CHEM 224. Concepts of microbial life, physiology, biochemistry and immunology. Topics covered include microbial methods, nature, metabolism, biosynthesis, environmental effects and differences among microorganisms. Outcome: Students will examine and comprehend a number of the divergent processes that microbes fuel in nature as well as the interactions between microbes and their environments, including the human host.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 251, 282 The study of the nature and molecular basis of immune responses. History and vocabulary of immunology; experiments involving immune recognition and destruction; theories regarding self-tolerance and immunological diseases. Outcome: Students will learn the morphology and histology of the cells involved in an immune response, as well as how the cells develop and the molecular mechanisms used to recognize and eliminate non-self material. The students will become familiar with the evasion strategies of pathogens and the consequences associated with either hyper or hypo-responsiveness.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 265 and CHEM 102 or 106. An introduction to the structure and function of lake and stream ecosystems. The course includes the integration of physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Laboratories include weekend field trips to aquatic habitats. Outcome: Students will learn methods of sampling and analyzing physical, chemical and biological factors in lake and stream ecosystems, and how to integrate these complex data sets to answer ecosystem process-level questions. Students will learn to evaluate the trophic status and health of a lake by the end of the course.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 282, 302 and CHEM 224 or permission of instructor. Fundamentals of microbe-host interactions and microbial diseases. Microbial mechanisms of pathogenicity are examined. There are also in-depth readings and discussion of specific microbial diseases. Outcome: A literature examination will be done in order that the manner by which microbes interact, and cause pathogenesis, with their hosts will be attained. A number of the varied strategies that microbes use to successfully colonize their hosts will be understood.
