BIO 440 - COMPARATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY

College of Arts & Sciences

Credit(s): 4

Comparative and Functional Neuroanatomy explores the cellular bases for sensory, integrative and motor neuroscience from an evolutionary perspective, delineating common features of all nervous systems ranging from cnidarian nerve nets to ventral nerve cords of most invertebrates to the chordate/vertebrate central nervous systems. Discovery of the common features of nervous structure in model system organisms with the human brain will provide students a perspective on the value of model systems for future study. Functional analyses of nervous system structures will enable students to identify anatomical bases for neural function and behavior.

Prereq: BIO 302 or consent of Instructor.
