SYSTEMS NEUROSCIENCE (3) Hendry Limit 130
Prereq: 080.101, 200.118, 080.203 or
200.141 The brain and spinal cord work as integrated units to
achieve perception, movement and memory. This course presents
a complete survey of sensory and motor systems, each of the memory
systems and the control of emotive behavior. Both the structure
of the central nervous system of other species will be discussed,
however, where they contribute to an understanding of structure
and function.

experience of the inter-disciplinary nature of neuroscience. Students
will use anatomical and neuro-physiological
techniques to understand the basic underlying principles of neuroscience. |

020.151-154, or 020.305-306 and 020.315-316
This course is a survey of the mechanisms through which the nervous
system receives sensory signals, transmits signals from neuron
to neuron, and drives the activity of target tissues such as glands
and muscles. Topics include the molecular basis of the action
potential, effect of cell shape and myelination on conduction of action potentials, mechanisms
regulating neuro-transmitter release,
structure and function of neurotransmitter receptors, modulation
of neuronal functions, sensory transduction, and muscle contraction.
The molecular basis of genetic disorders involving nerve and muscle
function will also be studied.

BRAIN INJURY AND RECOVERY
OF FUNCTION (CM)(ST) (3) Gorman Prereq:
080.203, 080.205 & 080.304 or Perm.
Req’d Limit 30 This course investigates
numerous types of brain injuries and explores the responses of
the nervous system to these injuries. The course's primary focus
is the cellular and molecular mechanisms of brain injury and the
recovery of function. Discussions of traumatic brain injury, stroke,
spinal cord, and tumors, using historical and recent journal articles,
will facilitate students' understanding of the current state of
the brain injury field.

Course will focus on the neurobiological mechanisms and psychological
aspects of pain. Experimental (animal & human) and clinical
models and methods will be discussed throughout.

PRIMATE BRAIN FUNCTIONS
(3) Hendry
Limit 35 Prereq:
080.205 Neuroscience is approaching the time when it can offer
a compelling explanation for how the brain works. This course
takes advantage of work done in humans and non-human primates
to survey concepts in sensory perception, motor command, and memory
mechanisms. Lectures are given by faculty whose research explores
these issues. Each subject is explored as a three-lecture sequence:
1) a background lecture that lays out the general principles and
over-riding questions of the field; 2) an in-depth lecture that
covers the most recent scientific literature; and 3) a summary
lecture that brings together the major questions and their Resolution.

READINGS IN SYSTEMS
NEUROSCIENCE Connor
Limit 10 Perm.
Req’d. This is a graduate-level seminar series on current literature
in systems neuroscience. It also serves as a discussion group/journal
club for students and faculty at the Krieger Mind/Brain Institute,
and is open to the wider systems/cognitive neuroscience community
at Homewood and other Hopkins campuses. Each week, a student or faculty member will present
a recent article selected in consultation with the course directors.
