-
4.00 Credits
This course will explore human brain development from conception through death. The course will focus both on anatomical changes and related changes in behavior, as well as environmental influences on brain development.

4.00 Credits
This MTSE will travel from Amsterdam, Netherlands through Germany, Switzerland and into northeastern Italy, visiting important sites used for scientific experimentation in the neurological and medical sciences prior to and during WWII. A major unifying theme for the course will include examining the problematic relationships between science, society, and policy, including an analysis of the power relations and ethics of scientific research in both neuroscience, criminology, and education and experimental implementation during that time period. This class will include readings, discussions, and site visits focused on issues of eugenics' role in experiments up to and including World War II; the nature of eugenics experiments; and the ethical and social context of these scientific experiments. The class will conclude in Genoa, Italy with a final submission of daily entry journals. This course fulfills the Engaging the World reuirement.

2.00 Credits
Are you wondering what you can do with your neuro degree? Or maybe you already know what you want to do but aren't quite sure how to get there. In either case, this 2 hour seminar will be of help. We will learn about the many pathways available to Neuro majors, learn practical skills to take that next step, meet with former students to learn about their careers, and actively engage in exploring career options.

4.00 Credits
Ever wonder how much genes affect happiness or major depression? Neurogenetics is at the forefront of neuroscience, using the tools of molecular genetics and genomics to understand the influence of genes on both normal behavior and neurobehavioral disorders. Our emphasis in this class will be on the methods used in human population and family studies at the genome wide level and how they are applied to complex human behavioral phenotypes. We will also develop an understanding of the statistical analysis of neurogenetics data and how mechanistic studies in animals complement the work in humans.

2.00 Credits
Computational neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that examines brain function in terms of the information processing properties of the structures that make up the nervous system, including neurons, circuits, and large scale networks. In this course we will investigate how cells and networks encode information via their biophysical and electrical properties, and how sensory and other information can be reconstructed (decoded) from studying the electrical state(s) of the brain. It is strongly recommended that students have taken either MATH 210 (Discrete Mathematics) or WCSAM 203 (Linear Algebra).
-
4.00 Credits
Students will be introduced to neuroscience research methods from varying levels of analysis (molecular/cellular. systems, human) as well as the fundamentals of hypothesis testing and experimental design. An emphasis on research design and reading and writing empirical literature is included. Prerequisites: NEURO/PSYC 205, MATH 150 or MATH 240, Junior standing or consent of instructor. (4)

4.00 Credits
This course explores human brain development from conception through death. The course focuses on anatomical changes and related changes in behavior, as well as potential genetic and environmental influences on brain development. In addition, we will learn about research addressing methods to foster healthy brain development.
-
4.00 Credits
An upper-division course in the psychobiology of behavior. Course emphasizes neural pathways, structure and function of sensation, perception and movement, hormones and homeostasis, sleep, and other behaviors present in both animals and humans. Lab will consist of demonstrations and field trips to learn more about fundamental methodologies in physiological psychology. Students may be required to travel off campus periodically for lab. Prerequisites: PSYC 105, NEURO/PSYC 205

A tutorial-based course used only for student- initiated proposals for intensive individual study of topics not otherwise offered in the Psychology Program. Prerequisite: consent of instructor and school dean.
