GENES, BRAIN, AND BEHAVIOR

Catalog description

This course will evaluate the complex interaction between an organism's genome and neural activity pattern in the nervous system as related to behavior. In this course students will explore how changes in gene expression (allelic variants, epigenetics, differential regulation) and gene networks within neural tissue can reciprocally influence behaviors such as communication, foraging, reproduction, and cognition. (Cross-listed with NEUR 4890 , BIOL 4890 , BIOL 8896 , PSYC 8896 ).
