In consultation with the concentration advisor, the student must select additional courses thematically related to his or her interest in neuroscience to make a total of 10 Neuroscience Core Courses. The student must write a short paragraph for each course justifying its inclusion in the concentration. (Organic chemistry does not satisfy this requirement).

The following courses are approved for concentration credit in their respective categories:

Statistics Courses

PHP2500, PHP2510, APMA0650, APMA1650, PYSC0090, COG0090, SOC1100, EDUC1110

Laboratory Methods Courses

NEUR1600: Experimental Neurobiology

NEUR1650: Structure of the Nervous System

NEUR1670: Neuropharmacology

NEUR1680: Computational Neuroscience

NEUR1970: Independent Laboratory Research (two semesters)

COGS1020: Neural Modeling Laboratory

PSYC1030: Techniques in Physiological Psychology

PSYC1060: Sleep and Chronobiology Research

PSYC1190: Human Sensory Processing

BIOL1880: Comparative Biology of the Vertebrates

Critical Reading Courses

BIOL1190: Topics in Neuroscience

NEUR1930: Topics in Neuroscience

NEUR1940: Independent Laboratory Research (two semesters)
Independent study can fulfill only one of the 10 core course requirements of the concentration.

NEUR2120: Topics in Visual Physiology

NEUR2150: Cells & Circuits of the Nervous System

NEUR2160: Neurochemistry and Behavior

NEUR2930: Special Topics in Neurobiology

Enrollment in 2000-level courses requires written permission of the instructor. Some courses may be restricted to graduate students.

Certain courses in other departments may satisfy this requirement with written approval of NUCC.
