NSCI 105 - Thinking about Drinking: Alcohol and the Brain

Half Course
Credits: 2 Credits
Attribute: 2NS

New course added 10.15.13.

Alcohol is the most widely used recreational drug in the world. Although it interacts with every organ system in the body, it is the effects of alcohol on the brain that motivate people to use it and underlie its addictive liability. This course will explore the effects of alcohol on the brain and behavior. Although the content of the course will be scientific in nature and rigorous, it will be taught with non-scientists in mind. All of the neuroscience background required will be presented in class.
Enrollment Limit: 40
Instructor: S. Swartzwelder
Consent of the Instructor Required: No
