Studies how activities in an animal's nervous systems produces and modifies natural behaviour. Topics in the course include: the detection and coding of information from the environment, integration of information for decision-making, generation of motor patterns that underlie behaviour, and general constraints on form and function of neural circuits. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 4 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): BIOL 317 or NEUR 350; or permission of instructor.
