Our perception and behavior are a result of computations performed by an astronomical number of densely connected neurons. Problems in these computations underlie many neurological diseases. Until recently it has been very difficult to understand neural computations at the level of single neurons. Recent progress in computation and breakthroughs in genetics and engineering has made it possible to understand macroscopic phenomenon like perception and behavior at the level of microscopic properties of single neurons. This course introduces students to the neuronal and circuit basis underlying sensory processing and perception, to neurological disorders that are result of incorrect neuronal processing, and to the application of these circuits to devices around us.

The Human Anatomy and Neuroscience course covers the anatomy and neuroscience of both the afferent and efferent visual systems. In addition, this course provides an overview of general anatomy of the brain and cranial contents, as well as neuroimaging basics as they apply to the assessment of neurologic pathways of the afferent and efferent visual systems. The first half of the course focuses on basics of optic disc assessment and associated tests of optic nerve function, the light and near pupillary pathways and their clinical assessment, and the visual pathway and anatomically associated visual field defects. This portion of the course prepares students for the Optic Nerve Disorders course, which will occur midway through this course. The second half of this course focuses on the efferent visual system evaluation, including assessment of pupil sizes, palpebral apertures and ocular motilities. Abnormalities of the efferent visual system are explored from an anatomical perspective with focus on extraocular muscles, neuro-muscular junction, cranial nerves and brainstem anatomy.

This is a core course required of all graduate students in the Neuroscience Program. The prerequisite is completion of Medical Neuroscience. The course meets twice weekly during the fall semester for 2 hour sessions, which include a mix of lecture and discussion. The course emphasizes critical evaluation of experimental methods used for investigation problems in the organization and function of the central nervous system. One major goal of the course is to teach the students a system approach to analyzing the CNS control of behavior and physiology. The topics that are chosen to illustrate these principles of organization include sensorimotor integration; CNS development; neurochemical anatomy: sites and mechanism underlying regulation if ingestion, responses to stress and sexual behavior: central mechanisms of award, learning and memory: and recovery of function after CNS damage. An important second goal is to relate activity at the systems level to underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. These strategies discussed throughout the course but especially in development; genetic basis of psychopathology: CNS injury and recovery; and use of molecular techniques for modulating behavior. The students are required to write four papers covering information from four separate blocks of the course and one final paper comparing the uses of transgenic knockouts, inducible knockouts and antisense approaches for studying a system of the student's choice. These papers are read by the faculty and defended by the students.

In this course, students will research a topic in systems and behavioral neuroscience that is outside of the immediate area of their thesis project. Students will be guided through integrating this knowledge into an original review paper. Therefore, in addition to learning about a topic related to (yet distinct from) their thesis project, they will learn how to write and critique review papers for a professional scientific journal, going through the submission, editorial, and revision processes. This course will consist of lectures, discussions, and one-on-one meetings.

Presentation of what is known of the representation of sound intensity in the normal auditory system and discusses possible causes and mechanisms of abnormal representations which can give rise to tinnitus and/or hyperacusis. The latest experimental data and models, reviewed in these lectures, are increasing our knowledge of the characteristics of this hyperactivity, how it develops, and where in the brain it is interpreted as phantom sound (tinnitus) or abnormally loud sound (hyperacusis).
