| COURSE | NUMBER | LEVEL | QUARTER | TEXTBOOK* | DESCRIPTION |
| Neurobiology of Cerebral Cortex | Psy 267 | Graduate | Spring 2008 | 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. 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 2009 | J. Nolte The Human Brain: An Introduction to Its Function (5th Ed.) | This course covers the neuroanatomy of the human central nervous system. |
| Patterns and Themes of Brain Architecture | Psy 167SJ/594SJ | Upper Division Undergraduate/ Graduate |
Spring 2009 | G. Nicolis, I. Prigogine Exploring Complexity (projected) | This course covers the self-organization of the biological matter, with emphasis on the central nervous system. Students learn to write simple simulations in MatLab. |
| Neurobiology of Brain States | Psy 166 | Upper Division Undergraduate | Spring 2009 | Reader |
The main focus of this course will be the neurobiology of various brain states in health and disease.
Topics covered*:
