with Lab Neuroscience is a very broad, complex field of study. The goal of this course is to acquaint you with tools you will use to conduct certain types of neuroscience research and critically think about the world around us. You will learn about huge breakthroughs in our understanding of the brain, both in the past and at this moment. You will work with large data sets and quantify real data. You will learn skills to help you better assess journal articles describing research conducted by other scientists, analyze the results of experiments graphically and statistically, and present your findings via written papers and PowerPoint presentations. Deeply significant ethical challenges will be discussed and influence your perspective of art, biotechnology, law, policy-making, science writing for the masses, and Neuroscience 27 business. This course has the potential to— figuratively and literally—change minds! Spring semester. 4 credits PSYCH2802 and junior standing $105 lab fee

This course is designed with the future ­medical student and health professional in mind. Lecture content will focus on diseases and disorders of the nervous system. Clinical case studies will be discussed, thus making this a good course for pre-med students. While there is no separate laboratory, ­students will participate in class on group projects working on clinical cases as if they were working in the medical field. This course is an upper-level elective course for completing the neuroscience concentration. Fall semester. 4 credits instructor

Computational neuroscience will provide an introductory overview of the importance of computational neuroscience and its role in modern neuroscientific inquiry. The overarching goal of computational neuroscience is to explain how electrical and chemical signals are used in the brain to represent and process information. Thus, as part of this course, students will gain a more advanced understanding and appreciation of basic neuronal function.

This course will examine the relationships between hormones, the brain and behavior. We will approach this from a biological psychology perspective, thus we will begin with an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the endocrine systems, the chemistry of hormones, and the cellular and molecular features of hormone action. We will follow by looking at a number of behaviors and their regulation by hormones. Fall semester. 4 credits permission

The framework of the course includes: (1) Introduction to the principal concepts in pharmacology, such as pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and drug-drug interactions. (2) A brief review of the mechanisms of action of difference drugs in the central nervous system. (3) A thorough introduction to different classes of psychoactive compounds, including drugs used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders as well as psychoactive drugs of abuse. Special topics of interest will include the study of pharmacological treatments available for major psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, mood and anxiety disorders. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to define and discuss the principles of the pharmacotherapy currently available for the treatment of for major psychiatric disorders, as well as the underlying mechanisms of drugs of abuse, and will be able to interpret and critically evaluate new findings in the field. Spring semester. 4 credits instructor

NEURO 4284 is for senior Neuroscience majors who, by exception, need to complete their senior internship requirement condensed into one semester. Students will identify an on campus or off campus internship based on their career interests and professional goals and will obtain an internship in a research setting, health care setting, or other setting. Students are expected to complete 250 hours at their site. In addition to gaining significant professional experience through their internship site, students will write a neuroscience thesis paper and engage in professional development activities guided by course faculty. Fall and spring semesters. 4 credits 2801, PSYCH 2802 AND Successful completion of the internship module. Completed internship application on EC Learn before deadline (mid Feb), and Senior status at time of internship.
