How do genes contribute to how brains work? How do genes relate to behavior? This course introduces the methods scientists use to genetically dissect the function of nervous systems. Through reading and discussion of book chapters, literature reviews, and primary literature, we will examine particular examples of neurogenetic analysis to recognize the strengths and limitations of this investigative approach.

NSCI 3990, Sec B. Invertebrate Neurobiology (3 Credits). Offered Fall Semester.
The study of invertebrates has been invaluable to learning general neuroscience mechanisms common to all animals. In addition to commonalities, invertebrates evolved distinct neural adaptations that enable their survival and reproductive success in a wide range of ecological niches. Through lecture, hands on examination, and reading and discussion of particular case studies students will 1) develop invertebrate taxonomic fluency, 2) learn seminal neuroscience contributions from the study of invertebrates, and 3) recognize how the continued investigation of invertebrate biology can lead to new insights into how brains work. 

NSCI 3990, Sec C. Muscle and Motor Systems (3 Credits). Offered Spring Semester.
Explores the major physiological systems of animals including temperature regulation, feeding and digestion, gas exchange and circulation, muscle and locomotion, salt and water homeostasis, and integrative neural and hormonal control. Examples are drawn from several species and include a consideration of the cellular basis of organ-system function. 

NSCI 3990, Sec D. Biological Clocks (3 Credits). Offered Spring Semester.
Biological clocks are internal pacemakers that regulate processes including digestion, sleep, and hibernation. What are the genetic and neural mechanisms that keep time and how do these time-keeping process interact with environmental stimuli? How do clocks trigger adaptive physiological processes? This course will explore the animal physiology of biological time-keeping.

NSCI 5230. Neurochemistry (3 Credits). Offered Fall Semester.
Neurochemistry explores the intersections between biochemistry and neuroscience. After an introduction into central nervous system (CNS) organization, the students will learn about how the CNS functions at the molecular level. The topics covered include synaptic vesicle structure and release processes, neurotransmitter/neuropeptide biosynthesis, circuits and function, growth factors, receptors, ion channels and downstream cellular signaling mechanisms. Students will also read and discuss primary neuroscience literature. Using current primary papers on these topics, the students will study the current state of neuroscience research and examine the basis of neural disorders including neurodegeneration, psychiatric abnormalities such anxiety and related stress-associated disorders, and other neuropathologies. The papers will dissect methodologies, approaches and advances in these issues. In sum, through lectures and readings, the course aims to be translational and intersect neural mechanisms with neurological disorders.
