Systems and Behavioral Neuroscience

Catalog description

Explores the functions of the nervous system across many levels (genetic, molecular, cellular and network) in regard to how neural systems produce behavior, and how problems (e.g., injury, disease) of the CNS arise and can be overcome. Examines principles underlying the function of individual neurons and how these principles give rise to integrated neuronal networks. Emphasizes critical thinking and problem solving in all evaluation exercises, including daily class participation.
