NSCI 319 - Neurophysiology: Neurons to Networks to Cognition

FC NSMA QFR

4 credits
Our brains allow us to perform extraordinarily complicated functions. Neurons both individually and in neural circuits make these functions possible. We will examine how neurons receive, integrate and transmit information and how groups of neurons produce both simple and complex behaviors. Students will analyze and discuss relevant portions of the recent scientific literature.
Prerequisites & Notes: NSCI 201 and BIOL 100 or BIOL 604, or consent of instructor. A minimum grade of C- or P is required in the pre-requisites.
