BIOL 191 - Introduction to Neurobiology (with Lab)


This course will explore nervous system functions and the biological processes underlying these functions. Topics will include nervous system structure and function, sensory processing, generating behaviors, and how evolution has shaped diverse nervous system functions that support animal survival. The course will focus on basic biological rules that contribute to, and constrain, nervous system function. Students will explore major neurobiological concepts, unanswered questions, and common experimental techniques through careful readings of primary research articles, as well as hands-on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. Students who have taken BIOL 181  may not take this course.
