Survey of current research in modern neuroscience. 0 or 1 graduate hours. No professional credit. Approved for S/U grading only. May be repeated.
Introduction for graduate students to the breadth and inter-disciplinary nature of Neuroscience, and to the topic areas investigated broadly by faculty of the Neuroscience Program (NSP). The course emphasizes concepts and methods rather than facts, and includes discussions and career development lectures. Team taught by multiple NSP faculty, senior students and postdocs, the course covers topics in cellular, molecular, computational, behavioral and clinical neuroscience as well as neuroengineering. Same as MCB 543 and PSYC 543. 2 graduate hours. No professional credit. Prerequisite: NEUR 542 or consent of instructor.
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.
Research on the thesis topic and preparation of the thesis. Approved for S/U grading only. May be repeated in the same or subsequent terms. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
