Understanding how our brains learn and remember information requires the integration of psychological concepts and behavioral methods with mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and systems neuroscience. In this course, we will provide an overview of these interdisciplinary topics. Each class will cover key concepts and the assigned material will be used to explore key concepts in greater detail. The course is designed to be accessible to a reader with minimal background in either neurobiology or psychology.

Prereq: A grade of C- or above in 2220, 2300, and 3313; or a grade of B or above in 3313 and Neurosc 3000, and Neuroscience major; or Grad standing.
