NSCI 107 - Neuroscience and Society

FC NSMA

4 credits
Neuroscience and its related issues are widely portrayed in the media. This course will discuss some fundamental aspects of science and the relationship between science and the media. We will then use this foundation to explore specific examples of neuroscience topics found in society today. All neuroscience background required will be taught in class, so while the content will be scientific in nature, it will be presented with non-scientists in mind. Students will be responsible for assigned readings as well as the reading of material for the writing and presentation of their own topic of interest.
