NSCI 331 Cellular Neuroscience (3)
Prof. Tasker. Prerequisite: CELL 101. In-depth coverage of the basic principles of
cellular neuroscience, including the biophysical basis of the membrane potential,
action potential generation and propagation, and synaptic signaling. Students also
will be introduced to the synaptic organization of higher neural systems, such as
the visual, auditory and somatic sensory systems. Same as CELL 331.
NSCI 332 Systems Neuroscience (3)
Prof. Smith. Prerequisite: CELL 101 or approval of instructor. The subject of this
course is the human nervous system, its anatomy, connectivity, and function.
Discusses the normal structure of the nervous system and the relationship of that
structure to physiological function. The course is taught from a practical, clinical
point of view and is intended to prepare students for further study in the
neurosciences. Same as CELL 332.
NSCI 367 Brain and Behavior (3)
Prof. Colombo, Prof. Dohanich, Prof. Wee. Prerequisite: PSYC 100, H101 or 102.
Lectures cover the function and structure of the nervous system and the role of
brain activity in the regulation of behavior. This course provides Neuroscience
majors with a first exposure to the biological bases of behavior and should be
taken prior to other Neuroscience courses at the 300 level and above. Same as
PSYC 367.
