Courses

May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Restricted to Integrative Physiology (IPHY) or Integrative Physiology Concurrent Degree (C-IPHY) graduate students only.
Provides an intensive introduction to the principles of neuroscience, initially covering the detailed neuroanatomy of human forebrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord. This is followed by neurophysiology with a concentration on the electrophysiology of neural systems. The basics of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with a concentration on the electrophysiology are then applied to an examination of the structure and function of visual, auditory, and sensorimotor systems in animal and man. Restricted to Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program or with instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Presents representative positions in normative ethics and metaethics. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Utilizes molecular, classical, and quantitative genetics as a method for understanding the molecular basis of human and animal physiology and behavior. Required of first year students in Behavioral Genetics certificate program. Prereqs., EBIO 2070 or 2670 or MCDB 2150. Prerequisites: Restricted to Integrative Physiology (IPHY) or Integrative Physiology Concurrent Degree (C-IPHY) graduate students only.
