Neuroscience and Behavior (Audio only)
· Audio Lectures: Course 9.01 (MIT)
· Course WebsiteThis course covers the relation of structure and function at various levels of neuronal integration. Topics include functional neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, sensory and motor systems, centrally programmed behavior, sensory systems, sleep and dreaming, motivation and reward, emotional displays of various types, "higher functions" and the neocortex, and neural processes in learning and memory.Lecture topics:Introduction to Brain-behavior Studies, History and Goals, Cellular Mechanisms, Neuronal Conduction and Transmission, Synapses Neuroanatomical Techniques, Introduction to CNS and its Evolution, Evolution, Brain Subdivisions Channels of Conduction, Transection Effects Neocortex, Spinal Cord Autonomic NS, Hindbrain and Midbrain, Midbrain and Forebrain, Development of CNS, Introduction, Cell migration Axon Growth Stages, Influences on Axon Growth, Axonal Sprouting and Regeneration, Motor System, Rythmic Outputs, Rhythms of Activity Sleep and Waking, Sleep and Waking, Habituation, Novelty Responses, Visual System Anatomy, Ablations, Physiology, Ablation Studies, Ablations, Visual System Conclusion, Auditory System, Pain and Central Gray Area, Hypothalamus and Feeding, Drive, Reward Agonistic Behavior, Higher Functions Human Nature, Human Nature and Neuroscience, Conclusion, Course Review
