• ZOO 5280: Intro Neurosci

  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 NEUR 5280; dual listed with ZOO 4280. Prerequisite: ZOO 3115 or equivalent.

• ZOO 5295: 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: Graduate standing.

• ZOO 5300: Wildlife Ecology & Mgmt

  5.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Concepts of vertebrate ecology integrated with the art of wildlife management, stressing approaches to deal with the inherent uncertainty of managing populations. Strategies to increase or decrease populations of target species, tools used to determine population status (e.g. viability analysis, monitoring, habitat assessment), and ecosystem management approaches are discussed. Lab included. Dual listed with ZOO 4300. Prerequisites: LIFE 3400, STAT 2050 or 2070, and ZOO 2450.
