A Primer in Neuroscience

NB3015 is a flip-the-classroom experience, with emphasis on developing the ability to read and grasp essentials from neuroscience topics, while emphasizing a mechanistic understanding of brain function. We will be reading chapters from "Principles of Neuroscience" (5th Edition) and groups of students create explainer videos about them in a pre-established sequence. These videos are then presented in class and peer reviewed.

Week 1. Introduction and Plan of Attack (Lecture)

Week 2. Neural Signaling

Week 3. Sensation and Perception

Week 4. Sensorimotor Behavior (Student Presentations)

Week 5. Cognition (Student Presentations)

PS. Though not mandatory, NB3014 (Computational Neuroscience) is a helpful pre-requisite.
