NBIO 301 Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology (5) NW Moody
Introduces students to the physiological and molecular properties of individual nerve cells and the synaptic connections between them, and to principles of nervous system development. Includes weekly laboratory sessions. Prerequisite: BIOL 220. Offered: W.
NBIO 302 Introduction to Systems and Behavioral Neurobiology (5) NW Kennedy, Perkel, Solis
Introduces neuroethology, i.e., the mechanisms by which neurons and the synaptic connections among them produce sensory perceptions and complex behavioral outputs. Includes weekly laboratory sessions. Prerequisite: NBIO 301. Offered: Sp.
Instructor Course Description:
David J Perkel
NBIO 401 Systems Neurobiology (3) NW Robinson
Introduces students to the anatomical and physiological organization of the major sensory, motor, and associative systems of the mammalian brain. Behavioral data used to stress functional integration of systems. Includes gross brain anatomy demonstration and computer tutorials. Prerequisite: NBIO 302. Offered: A.
NBIO 402 Sensory Systems: From Molecules to Mind (3) NW Crill
Covers the molecular basis of sensory transduction and the processing of sensory signals by the brain. Emphasizes threads of common structures and functions. Covers each system as a module in which both molecular and systems aspects are discussed. Hones skills in reading primary literature through readings and discussion. Prerequisite: NBIO 401. Offered: W.
NBIO 403 Systems and Behavioral Neurobiology (3) NW
Topics include information processing in sensory and motor systems, sensory-motor integration, learning, and memory. Using examples from the field of neuroethology, encourages students to independently work on problems taken from the recent neurobiological research literature. Prerequisite: NBIO 401. Offered: W.
NBIO 404 Neuropharmacology (3) NW Stella
Actions of drugs on the brain at clinical, cellular, and molecular levels. Therapeutic use of drugs in treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases. Abuse of drugs and the mechanisms of addiction, tolerance, and withdrawal. Prerequisite: NBIO 401. Offered: Sp.
NBIO 440 Topics in Current Neurobiology Research (2, max. 6) NW
Credit/no credit only. Prerequisite: NBIO 302.
NBIO 450 Current Research Literature in Neurobiology (2, max. 6) NW
Weekly journal club in neurobiology. Students read and discuss original research articles in neurobiology, centered around a specific topic each quarter. Credit/no credit only. Prerequisite: BIOL 220.
