BIO 319 COMPARATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL NEUROBIOLOGY
This course sets forth a conceptual framework for understanding comparative and functional vertebrate neurobiology. The course will help students build a strong foundation in evolutionary biological anatomy and development of the vertebrate brain and nervous system. Course content will emphasize comparative structural integrity, functional and basic clinical concepts (normal versus abnormal) related to neuroanatomical control of vertebrates. Finally, this course intends to satisfy those interested in the anatomy of the nervous system and how it corresponds to the way animals function in the world. Four class hours per week.
