CNS/Bi 157: sheep brains!
I just signed up for John Allman's comparative neuroanatomy course next term, the one where the students get to dissect a sheep's brain. w00t! It'll be nice to finally solidify my neuroanatomy knowledge. I haven't dissected anything since middle school, and have never dissected a brain.
Here's the description:
Comparative Nervous Systems CNS/Bi 157
9 units (2-3-4); third term.
An introduction to the comparative study of the gross and microscopic structure of nervous systems. Emphasis on the vertebrate nervous system; also, the highly developed central nervous system found in arthropods and cephalopods. Variation in nervous system structure with function and with behavioral and ecological specializations and the evolution of the vertebrate brain. Given in alternate years. Offered in 2005-2006.
Instructor: Allman
