| COURSE | NUMBER | LEVEL | QUARTER | TEXTBOOK | DESCRIPTION |
| Neurobiology of Cerebral Cortex | Psy 267 | Graduate | Winter 2012 | Reader |
This course focuses on the neurobiology of the neocortex. It is designed for graduate students with background in neurobiology, biopsychology, and/or cognitive sciences. Students from other areas are welcome. Previous Psy 268 or Psy 269 are recommended but not required. Exceptional undergraduates will be considered (good grades in Psy 111, Psy 111L, Psy 166, or Psy 168 are required). Topics covered:
|
| Neuroanatomy | Psy 269 | Graduate | Winter 2013 |
J. Nolte The Human Brain: An Introduction to Its Function D.E. Haines Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems |
This course covers the neuroanatomy of the human central nervous system. |
| Complexity in Brain Sciences | Psy 164 | Upper Division Undergraduate | Spring 2012/Spring 2013 | M. Mitchell Complexity: A Guided Tour Wolfram Mathematica 8 |

| Serotonin Signaling | Psy 163SJ/594 | Upper Division Undergraduate/Graduate | Fall 2012 | Original research papers | The course investigates serotonin signaling in evolution, development, brain disorders, and psychology. Students are required to read and analyze original research papers, with an emphasis on recent findings in the field. |
| Neurobiology of Brain States | Psy 166 | Upper Division Undergraduate | Summer B 2012/Fall 2012 | Reader | The course covers the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of various brain states in health and disease. The unifying theme of the course is the active, top-down construction of reality in the brain. The topics include the default mode network, Bayesian approaches to perception, phantom limbs, out-of-body experiences, hallucinogens, the dreamy state, the neurobiology of music, wakefulness and sleep, and associated neurological disorders. |
| Biological Basis of Psychology | Psy 3 | Lower Division Undergraduate | Spring 2012 | L. Freberg Discovering Biological Psychology | This course introduces the brain as a super-compact, three-dimensional structure that participates in creating everything else that is not the brain. The course covers the basic anatomy, physiology, genetics, and development of the brain; traditional and new approaches to sensory perception and reality; emotion; learning and memory; some brain disorders; and other topics. |
Our faculty teach many great courses. The courses listed here are those with which I am well-familiar and which I strongly recommend to students working in my lab.
