BIOL 3107 - Introduction to Neuroscience Lab

Credits: 3 Class: 0 Lab: 3
Prerequisite(s): Enrollment or credit in BIOL 3307
This lab includes hands on experiments that focus on some basic principles of neuroscience including action potentials, structures and functions of neurons, with a focus on the connection between neuron networks and their behavior outputs. We will use Drosophila species as the model systems and introduce students to common approaches and techniques used in the field of neuroscience. These include immunohistochemistry, behavioral paradigms, and computational modeling. Students will then apply these techniques to explore research questions in a collaborative project.
