Laboratory experiments illustrating procedures in neuroanatomy, behavioral neuroscience, animal learning and behavior, and human sensation and perception.

An introduction to the biological bases of human and animal behavior. Emphasis is placed upon neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, and behavioral methodologies which contribute to an understanding of brain-behavior relationships.

Undergraduate research undertaken with the supervision of a faculty member. May be taken for a maximum of 6 hours.

An introduction to fundamental principles, techniques, and procedures that underlie neuroscience research.

Undergraduate research undertaken with the supervision of a faculty member. May be taken for a maximum of 6 hours.

Laboratory experiments illustrating methods and procedures in cognitive psychology.

Laboratory experiments illustrating methods and procedures in learning and behavior.

Laboratory experiments illustrating methods and procedures in sensation and perception.

Introduction to the structures and processes involved in human cognition, including thinking, problem solving, language, attention, and memory.

An examination of human and animal learning and behavior within a nature-nurture framework.

An introduction to the anatomical, physiological, motivational, and cognitive factors which determine conscious sensory and perceptual experience.

The study of the biopsychosocial factors leading to socioeconomic health disparities.

Explores the underlying neural circuits important for normal and abnormal emotional behavior and experience. Focus on neuroimaging studies of human disorders for which there is a critical mass of data regarding the neural underpinnings of psychopathology.

The psychology and neuroscience underlying healthy sleep, circadian rhythms, the effects of sleep deprivation, clinical sleep disorders, and solutions for improving sleep. Includes engaged learning activities such as community-based term projects.

Examines neuroscience methods and research related to criminal and civil law and society at large, providing a broad overview of the major topics in the area.

An overview of the molecular and cellular processes involved in nervous system development, including neural proliferation, synaptogenesis, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Undergraduate research undertaken with the supervision of a faculty member. May be taken for a maximum of 6 hours.

Laboratory experiments illustrating methods and procedures in neuroanatomy and clinical neuroscience.

Laboratory experiments illustrating methods and procedures in Behavioral Neuroscience.

Major issues in Behavioral Medicine from the contribution of psychological, behavioral, and physiological factors and processes, to health and illness, to the application of psychological theories and techniques, to the prevention and amelioration of illness and the promotion of health. Uses engaged learning methods.

An intensive introduction to the scientific literature in behavioral neuroscience. Students will be exposed to the contemporary literature through an examination of fundamental contributions in several areas. Preparation of a serious paper in a specific area of current research interest is required.

A survey of current neuroscientific contributions to the understanding of the etiology of various mental disorders. The course covers basic principles of neural science followed by an examination of motivation and emotions within a neuroscience framework.

A study of individual problems in perception through directed reading, independent research, and/or laboratory work.

A study of the structure and function of the human nervous system as related to behavior.

The pharmacology of major drugs that work primarily on the nervous system, with an emphasis on pharmacodynamics (receptor subtypes, locations, and functions).

An in-depth laboratory research experience in neuroscience as supervised by a faculty mentor.

May be repeated once with change of topic.

Undergraduate research undertaken with the supervision of a faculty member. May be taken for a maximum of 6 hours.
