Course Descriptions - NEUR Neuroscience Minor Program NEUR 2050 - Introduction to Neuroscience Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Introduction to the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience, which examines the function and dysfunction of the human 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. NEUR3750- 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 3850 - Clinical Neuroscience Credits: (3) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] This is an advanced undergraduate course primarily for Neuroscience minors, but open to all students. Students will apply a knowledge of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, cognition, and behavior to discuss and solve in-depth clinical case studies in the classroom setting. The course will consist of instructor-led and student-led activities to explore a range of nervous system disorders. Prerequisite: NEUR 2050 or PSY 2730 or consent of instructor. 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. Limited to advanced students upon consent of neuroscience faculty mentor and the Neuroscience Program director. A paper written in APA style and an oral report are required at the end of the semester. Prerequisite: NEUR 2050 (Introduction to Neuroscience), PSY 3600 (Statistics) or equivalent, and faculty mentor permission. Students may enroll in this course twice for a maximum of 6 credit hours. NEUR 4810 - Experimental Credits: (1-6) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] odd years May be repeated 5 times for a maximum of 6 credit hours. NEUR 4830 - Directed Readings Credits: (1-3) Independent readings or secondary research on advanced neuroscience special topics under the direction of a faculty mentor. For each hour of credit in a readings project the student is required to read an appropriate number of primary research journal articles and book chapters. A paper written in APA style and oral report are required at Weber State University 2015-2016 Catalog
