BIOL 335 - Neurochemistry and Disease


In this course, students will explore how the biochemistry of the brain influences nervous system function, specifically in relationship to motor and cognitive processes. Students will initially be introduced to fundamental aspects of neuroscience and biochemistry in a traditional lecture format. After this introduction, students will explore the relationship between altered neurochemical activity and disease states using a case study approach. In the lab, students will be introduced to several neurochemistry techniques and will then be asked to use these tools to complete a novel neurochemistry research project. The BIOL 335L  laboratory is required for neuroscience majors, but is optional for all other students taking the course. Cross-listed with CHEM 335  and NSCI 335 .

Credits: 3
Terms Offered: Spring
Prerequisites: BIOL 105  and BIOL 106 , BIOL 107  or equivalent, BIOL 108  or equivalent; or, CHEM 311  or NSCI 211
