  • BI 339: plant- Animal Interactions 4

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    Exploration of the evolution and ecology of interactions between plants and animals. Topics include mutualism (e.g., pollination, frugivory), antagonism (e.g., herbivory, granivory), indirect effects that cascade across taxa, and mechanisms by which plant-animal interactions affect the susceptibility of both groups to pathogenic microbes and fungi. Students perform all the steps of active research (research design, data collection, analysis and presentation), as well as read and critique classic and recent studies from the literature. Student research in Skidmore's North Woods and surrounding areas will be emphasized. Three hours of lecture/discussion and one three-hour lab per week. Prerequisites: BI105, 106, and any two 200-level BI courses. J. Ness

  • BI 342: frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    This course will explore "hot topics" in neuroscience. We will discuss how novel approaches in cell culture, animal, and human studies are being used in current molecular neuroscience research. In addition to attending lectures, students will review current literature from top journals, give group presentations in class, and write a paper. This course will be divided into two sections: 1) topics in neurogenesis (neuron birth in the adult brain) and 2) topics in neurodegeneration (mechanisms of cell death in disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease). Students will develop skills in critically reading research papers and giving presentations. Prerequisites: BI106, 242 or 247, and one 200-level biology course; for neuroscience students: NS101, BI105, and BI142, 244, or 247. J. Bonner

  • BI 344: biological Clocks 4

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    Organisms in all the major taxonomic groups have internalized geophysical and other periodicities in the form of endogenous biological mechanism that function as clocks. Theoretical, molecular, cellular, physiological, behavioral, ecological, and biomedical aspects of biological clocks will be examined, with an emphasis on circadian clocks. Three hours of lecture, three hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: BI106 and any two 200-level biology courses or permission of instructor; for neuroscience students: NS101, BI105, and BI244. B.

  • BI 348: immunobiology

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    A study of the ways in which the immune system recognizes and responds to cells or molecules that are non-self. The course will explore the basic biological processes that underlie the function of the immune system in health and disease. Prerequisites: BI106, 242 or 247, and one other 200-level biology course.

  • BI 349: neuroendocrinology

    4.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    Hormones act throughout the body to coordinate basic biological functions such as development, reproduction, and metabolism. This course will investigate how hormones work in the brain to regulate physiology and behavior. We will study the molecular bases of neuroendocrine regulation, with a focus on how the hypothalmic-pituitary-gonadal axis functions to regulate reproduction, homeostasis, metabolism, and stress. Laboratory sessions will explore various approaches to neuroendocrine research, including detection of hormone receptors in the brain and assessment of biological functions through bioassays. Prerequisites: BI106, BI242 or BI244 (both recommended), and one other 200-level biology course; for neuroscience students: NS101, BI105, and BI244. The Department
