The Neurobiology of Learning and Memory

This course focuses on the biological mechanisms involved in the processes of learning and memory in the nervous system. We will examine these mechanisms at the molecular, cellular and systems levels of the brain. Topics range from memory-associated molecules and synaptic plasticity to animal models and human behavior. In addition, students will be introduced to the many behavioral paradigms and molecular genetic techniques used by neuroscientists to study learning and memory in the brain.
