BISC 315/NEUR 315 Advanced Topics in Neurobiology with Laboratory
Tetel

Topic for 2005-06: Neuroendocrinology. Hormones act throughout the body to coordinate basic biological functions such as development, differentiation and reproduction. This course will investigate how hormones act in the brain to regulate physiology and behavior. We will study how the major neuroendocrine axes regulate a variety of functions, including brain development, reproductive physiology and behavior, homeostasis and stress. The regulation of these functions by hormones will be investigated at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Laboratory experiments will explore various approaches to neuroendocrine research, including the detection of hormone receptors in the brain and analysis of behavior. Students may register for either
BISC 315 or NEUR 315 and credit will be granted accordingly.
