Description
BIOL 308. NEUROBIOLOGY. An investigation of a broad array of topics in neurobiology, building on foundations of the Hodgkin-Huxley model of action potential, synaptic transmission, and neuromodulation. Studies include processing of sensory information in visual and auditory systems, the chemical senses, and others. The connections between sensory integration and motor behaviors in diverse animals will be explored. Neural mechanisms of learning and memory, sleep/wakefulness, and reward and decision-making also will be addressed. Recommended for students considering a career in research, health sciences, or psychology. Prerequisite: Biology 234. Offered periodically, semester course, three hours.
