• NEUR 1101: First-Year Seminar:

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  In this course students will think about thinking and learn about learning. It is designed to introduce students to the structure and function of key components of the nervous system. Specifically, we will explore how the nervous system functions to learn and retain knowledge presented in college level courses. Students who take this course will learn how to answer exam questions from a range of formats, including multiple choice and essay questions. This knowledge can be applied to any courses taken throughout the student's academic career. As part of the required first year seminar (FYS) research component, students in this course will learn how to conduct original research and write reports on their finding, a useful skill component used for biology, chemistry, physics, and all other science courses. Cross listed with PATB 1101.

• NEUR 4295: Neurodevelopment

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Through lecture and discussion of research articles, students learn mechanisms of nervous system development, from the birth and differentiation of neurons to the formation of synapses and circuits. Focus is on classical experiments done in vertebrates (Xenopus tadpole, chick, zebrafish, and mouse) and invertebrates (nematode and drosophila). Prerequisite: ZOO 4280, or graduate standing.

• NEUR 4720: Neuroscience Speaker Seminar

  2.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  The purpose of this course is to use the Neurosciencesensory biology visiting speaker series to build student knowledge in neuroscience, as well as, skills in critical evaluation of the research literature, and oral/written communication. This will maximize student learning from the speaker series. The course may be taken up to 3 times.

• NEUR 5100: Str/Fnctn Nerv System

  4.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Aimed at understanding the structure and interconnections of neurons in the brain and how structure gives rise to the complex functions mediated by the brain. This is an essential feature of neuroscience. Covers gross anatomy of the brain, followed by detailed consideration of the divisions of the brain and their functional significance. Cross listed with ZOO 5100. Prerequisite: admission to the graduate neuroscience program or graduate standing.

• NEUR 5280: Introduction to Neuroscience

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Examines the basic properties of neurons and from there identifies determinants of brain development and how neuronal circuits are formed. How neuronal circuits underlie processing sensory information, coordinated movement, complex functions (e.g. sleep, learning) and homeostasis are discussed. Cross listed with ZOO 5280. Prerequisite: ZOO 3115 or equivalent.

• NEUR 5685: Neurphysiology

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Designed to investigate the structure and function of nervous systems, drawing information from both vertebrate and invertebrate organisms. Topics such as sensory systems, motor coordination and central integrative mechanisms will be covered in addition to the basic neurophysiology of nerve cells. Cross listed with ZOO 5685. Prerequisite: one course in physiology, chemistry, physics.
