  • 3.00 Credits

    Examines the basic electrical properties of neurons and from there identifies determinants of brain development, how neuronal "circuits" are formed and how these neuronal systems enable the processing of sensory information, coordinated movement, adaptation to the environment, and other complex functions (e.g. sleep, sex). Prerequisite: BIOL 2020.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Studies ways in which nervous systems of both invertebrates and vertebrates contribute to and control their behavioral repertories. Focuses on aspects of sensory physiology with brief orientation to structure and function of nervous systems. Presents analysis neural control of movement. Includes laboratory demonstrations. Prerequisite: ZOO 3115 or equivalent.
  • 3.00 Credits

    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.
  • 5.00 Credits

    Integrates concepts of vertebrate ecology 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. Laboratory included. Dual listed with ZOO 5300. Prerequisites: LIFE 3400, STAT 2050 or 2070, and ZOO 2450.
