Introduction to Neurobiology
XB160 (4 semester units in Molecular and Cell Biology)
Important: Special academic policies apply to XB courses.Get a general understanding of the nervous system, including how it functions, how it develops, and how it changes with learning and memory in this introductory course geared for students who already have some background in the biological sciences, typically upper-division undergraduates. You study increasingly complex systems, from the level of molecules to cells to simple circuits to complex networks to higher brain functions, including special sections on brain diseases.
Prerequisite: A year of college-level general biology for majors; and physics.
