NEUR   500 FUNCTIONAL NEUROANATOMY AND SYSTEMS NEUR Credits 3.00  Fall 99
This course will introduce the student to the anatomy of the nervous
system, with a strong emphasis on the functional connections between
brain regions. We will begin with a relatively brief overview of the
gross anatomy of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system,
then proceed to more detailed discussions of the neuroanatomy involved
in sensory perception, movement, speech, memory, emotions, and
neuroendocrinological functions. The neurotransmitters, cell types, and
synaptic features of each brain region will be discussed.

NEUR   503 MOLECULAR NEUROSCIENCE I & II            Credits 3.00  Fall 99
Addresses aspects of the development, structure, and function of the
nervous system, including receptors and ion channels, which are critical
regulators of neuronal function.  Investigates recent advances in
understanding the protein structure and functional relationships of
these types of molecules, and the the molecular basis for how they
achieve their functions in the neuron.
