Systems Neuroscience is the study of the function of neural circuits in intact organisms. The goal of systems neuroscience is to understand how neural circuits control complex functions including vision, audition, learning, homeostasis, and motor responses, among others. This area of research examines neural networks at all levels of organization, from single neurons to whole intact networks, using a variety of technical approaches including anatomical, physiological, analytic, and theoretical.
This course provides the background necessary for continued study in many areas of modern systems neuroscience. This course has a particular focus on vertebrate species, and is appropriate for mid- or upper-level undergraduate students.
