How do experiences and exposures get “under the skin” to impact human development? This course takes a research approach to understanding how the environment can shape adult behavior. We begin a review of foundations in endocrinology, neurobiology, reproduction, and development. This sets the stage for studying the developmental impacts of exposures and experiences including nutrition, stress, immune challenges, endocrine disruption, and more.

The human brain is the most complex structure in the known universe. The study of its structure and function and how it figures into our actions and mental experience is among the most exciting projects of modern science. This class begins with molecules and cells, builds up to brains and nervous systems, encompasses neural signaling, sensory perception, memory, language, and emotion, and culminates with the great mystery of how brain processes relate to consciousness and mental experience — that is, how the mind is related to the brain.

Students in this course will develop competency in scientific communication, including scientific writing and presentation of data. We will use active learning exercises to teach strategies for organizing and presenting scientific ideas and evidence verbally and in writing. Each semester there will be one broad neuroscience topic (such as color vision or memory) that we will study in three different research areas: cellular, circuits/systems and cognitive neuroscience.

NEU 164 (2025-08-20 - 2099-12-19)

This course will provide students with insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying development of the nervous system. We will discuss the importance of these mechanisms by highlighting cases where alterations in these processes lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. We will review what is currently known about these topics and the areas of active research. In the lecture, we will refer to figures from research literature, and you will be reading and discussing articles in the discussion section.

NEU 77 - LEC 001 Survey of Neuroscience Research more detail
This course provides a survey of neuroscience research areas represented by faculty members in the Department of Neuroscience. Each week a different faculty member will give a one hour lecture on how their research field contributes to our understanding of the brain and behavior. The course will span molecular, cellular, circuits, systems, behavioral, cognitive, and computational neuroscience, to illustrate how different approaches fit into the overall field of neuroscience. Faculty will also inform students about courses that they teach in neuroscience and related areas. This course gives undergraduates an opportunity to learn about the spectrum of research within the field of neuroscience.

The history, chemical nature, botanical origins, and effects on the human brain and behavior of drugs such as stimulants, depressants, psychedelics, analgesics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, steroids, and other psychoactive substances of both natural and synthetic origin. The necessary biological, chemical, and psychological background material for understanding the content of this course will be contained within the course itself.
