This course is a lab-based 0.5 credit, 6-week course strongly focused on comparative neuroanatomy, from neurocytology to neural pathways/systems and gross anatomy. It is designed for Psychology, Neuroscience and Behavior, and Biology majors as well as other students interested in gaining a more thorough, hands-on understanding of central nervous system (and to a small extent peripheral nervous system) structure and function. Laboratory exercises are the focus of the course and include tissue dissection, slide preparation and analysis, as well as evaluation of published micrographs, prepared tissue slides and virtual neuroanatomy tools.
