• CAS NE 100: NeuroEthics: Philosophy and Practice
  The nature of humanness, equality, privacy, free will, responsibility, and mental health are topics that lie at the intersection of neuroscience and ethics. This freshman seminar explores the social and moral implications of new developments in psychopharmacology, brain-machine interfaces, psychosurgery, and functional neuroimaging.
• CAS NE 201: Introduction to Cellular and Systems Neuroscience
  An introduction to the basic principles of neuronal excitability and the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neural communication, development, and plasticity. Focus on individual sensory and motor systems. Also offered as CAS BI 201.
• CAS NE 202: Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience
  Cognitive neuroscience seeks to understand the brain basis of cognition. This course introduces research methods and human neuroanatomy, and provides a survey of topics including learning and memory, attention, perception, language, social cognition, and executive function. Also offered as CAS PS 202.
• CAS NE 204: Introduction to Computational Models of Brain and Behavior
  Introduction to important concepts in cognitive neuroscience and computational modeling of biological neural systems. Combines a systems-level overview of brain function with an introduction to modeling of brain and behavior using neural networks. Also offered as CAS CN 210.
