Course Catalog Description
This course is a comprehensive survey of circuits and systems neuroscience, including how brain function underlies behavior. Students will learn how brain circuits are organized, how the brain processes sensory information, how it plans and executes movement, and how it stores information during learning. We will discuss brain rhythms and sleep, and brain systems for emotion, reward, attention, and other higher functions. The major focus is on the mammalian brain, but we will also discuss principles from other organisms. By the end of the course, students will have a strong understanding of the biological and computational principles for neural circuit function, and the neurobiological basis of behavior.

The department will add the intended MCB - Neurobiology and Neuroscience students to the remaining reserved seats in early November, before they get released to other waitlisted students on Nov 27. We cannot guarantee you a seat, but if you can be flexible with the discussion section time, then that may increase your chances of getting in. If there are not enough seats, students will be prioritized by class level and EGT. show less
