THE NERVOUS SYSTEM II
Hendry Limit 200 The course uses the functional organization
of the somatosensory system as a means to examine mechanisms of
neutral development. Generation and maturation of neurons, guidance
of axons, formation of synapses and the regressive events that shape
the adult nervous system will be examined. At the same time we will
explore the structure and function of brain regions that allow us
to feel pain and temperature, detect vibration, recognize shape
and perceive where we are in space. Finally, the single-neuron events
that lead to adaptive changes in function will be explored in the
context of central nervous system control of movement and of higher
order functions of speech and memory. Course added 10/30/07

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CELLS:
THE SYNAPSE AS A MODEL SYSTEM (CM) (3) Kirkwood
Limit 30 Prereq: 020.305 & 020.306 or and 080.304 301 All cells inform neighbors of their own activities. That act of
communication frequently requires the formation of cell junctions
across which information can pass. One of the best studied of the
means of communication between cells is the synapse between neurons.
This course examines the synapse in depth. both as a means to look
at the nature of neuronal comunication and as a model for communication
across cells of all types. Lectures on the physiology, structure,
biochemistry and cell biology of synapses will be used as an introduction
to the function of synapses in learning and memory and the effect
on synapses of drugs and disease. Cross-listed with Biology

This course will survey the neural mechanism of decision-making. Current experimental reserch and theory concerning selection, control, and evaluation of actions are examined in humans and animals. Topics will range from simple pereceptual judgements to complex social behavior. The course involves a weekly lecture about a specific topic followed by a student presentation of a current research paper. Cross-listed with

An introduction to the physics, instrumentation, and signal processing
methods used in general radiography, X-ray computed tomography,
ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine.
The primary focus is on the methods required to reconstruct images
within each modality, with emphasis on the resolution, contrast,
and signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting images.
