Survey of current research in modern neuroscience. Approved for S/U grading only. May be repeated.
The first course in a two-course series. An introduction for graduate students to the breadth and inter-disciplinary nature of neuroscience, focusing on fundamental papers in the field, as well as current research by faculty of the Neuroscience Program (NSP). Multiple NSP faculty participate. Topics include molecular and cellular neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, neurogenomics, and neuroimmunology. Emphasizes critical thinking, concepts, and methods rather than facts, and is discussion-based. The last two weeks comprise student research presentations. Same as MCB 542 and PSYC 542. 3 graduate hours. No professional credit.
Individual topics of research supervised by Neuroscience faculty. Usually taken in one of the eight Neuroscience concentration areas: 1) neuroanatomy, 2) neurophysiology, 3) cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, 4) neurochemistry, neuropharmacology and neurotoxicology, 5) neuroendocrinology and neuroimmunology, 6) developmental genetic and molecular neuroscience, 7) clinical and biomedical neuroscience, 8) computational neuroscience. Typically taken by students before they choose their thesis topic. Approved for S/U grading only. May be repeated in the same or subsequent terms. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
