This course introduces key concepts and exciting research in neuroscience to students interested in how the brain enables us to sense, act, think, and remember. The course spans all levels of inquiry, from molecules to cells, circuits, systems, and animal behavior. The process of discovery will be emphasized, and students will interact in class with scientists who made key discoveries. Lectures follow the textbook "Principles of Neurobiology" written by the instructor. No prerequisites other than a keen curiosity about the brain.
