Systems Neuroscience
(Conjoined with Cognitive Science 107B) This course is a rigorous introduction to the neurophysiological and neuroanatomical basis of human and animal cognition, covering cellular neurophysiology and circuit modeling; development; visual, somatosensory, auditory, motor, and limbic systems; neuroimaging and language. Students in Cognitive Science 107B will have a textbook and will be given short-answer tests; students in Cognitive Science 201 will have a reader and written take-home assignments, in addition to a short final paper. |
