NEU 412 - Neurobiology of Disease

Four Credits
Fall Semester

In this course, you will learn about the neurobiology underlying several neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases.  We will explore central nervous system anatomy, neuronal circuits, neurotransmitters, and cellular/molecular pathways of neurotypical and disease states. Our understanding of most neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions is incomplete.  This course will focus on the current understanding of specific conditions, how these conditions are being studied, and how that research translates to treatments.  Lecture and lab combined are 4 credits.

Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): BIO 101  - BIO 102 , BIO 211 , Senior status.
Note: Fulfills the Functional Organismic requirement for Biology majors.

Fulfills the Capstone requirement for Neuroscience and may be approved to fulfill the Biology Capstone with approval of the faculty member supervising the Capstone project and the Department Chair before the first day of classes.
