Engaged Learning and Interdisciplinary Programs 63 and animal nervous system. The course spans the major areas of neuroscience including cellular/molecular factors, neuron physiology, brain structure and function, and medical/clinical applications. The topics addressed are critical to multiple fields of study (e.g. health sciences, psychology, and zoology) and provides the skills necessary for students to succeed in upper-division courses related to the brain and behavior. Prerequisite: none; recommend some background in basic biology, chemistry, or psychology. NEUR 3750 - Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience Credits: (3) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] even years This course challenges students to apply knowledge of nervous system structure and function to higher order cognitive functions and motor abilities including attention, memory, emotions, language and symbolic functions, reasoning, decision making, problem solving, voluntary movement, and consciousness. Prerequisite: NEUR 2050 or PSY 2730 or instructor approval. NEUR 4800 - Projects and Research Credits: (1-3) Supervised participation in projects and/or primary research with a faculty mentor in various areas of neuroscience.
