PSYCH-201 Introduction to Neuroscience
Introduces the student to the field of neuroscience, the study of the organization and function of the nervous system of humans and other animals. Neuroscientists examine how individual neurons function as signaling devices, how groups of neurons operate as circuits to produce fundamental units of behavior, and how much larger systems in the brain subserve complex functions such as memory and consciousness. Topics include the neuron and neural transmission, the overall function and organization of the nervous system, the development of the brain, and higher cognitive functions. Normally offered alternate years.
