NEUR 395 - Special Topics in Neuroscience


Credits: 1, 2, or 3


A seminar designed to provide the advanced student with a broader knowledge of the field of neuroscience. Specific topics will vary and will be determined, in part, by student interest. May be repeated for credit if the topics are different.

Winter 2016, NEUR 395A-01: Learning and Behavior (3). This course is a survey of behavioral psychology through learning theory. We discuss the various forces (psychological and biological) which govern non-associative learning (habituation and sensitization), stimulus- and reward-processing, associative learning (both classical and operant conditioning), and mechanisms for memory formation. Course activities feature both lecture and experimental aspects to engage students in the scholarly and practical experiences of behavioral experimentation. Schreiber.


Winter 2016, NEUR 395B-01: Diseases of the Nervous System (3). Prerequisites: Instructor Consent. In this seminar course, students will use primary and secondary literature to learn about the history, clinical presentation, basic neuropathology, standards of care, and current research approaches for stroke, traumatic brain injury, selected progressive neurodegenerative diseases, and neuropsychiatric conditions.

  Planned Offering: Fall, Winter
