4 credits
Science has an influential role in public life (e.g. technology, politics, health care, education), and neuroscience is currently one of the most exciting fields. This interactive course is designed for non-science majors to support your personal development in scientific thinking through the lens of neuroscience. Content will be based on on neuroscience topics of interest, new research findings, and current events (e.g. autism spectrum disorders, neuroimaging, drug addiction, stem cells). All neuroscience content required will be taught in class. Activities include regular readings and discussion, analyzing news articles and scientific publications, and project-based assessments.
