Three hours.
3 Credits

This course will investigate the fundamental concepts of the nervous system, brain, and behavior by emphasizing the interrelationships between neurobiology and cognitive science. Part of the course will focus on the nervous system structure, function and development and will be used in understanding the biological basis of learning, memory, and behavior in both normal and altered states. Current research, such as the latest discoveries in the genetics and molecular biology of behavior and the social implications of these discoveries will be used in graduate level discussions and presentations. Critical thinking and analysis of relevant scientific literature will also be emphasized.
