Biological Sciences

Physiological Adaptation: Heart, Stress, and Exercise (3)
01:119:194:H1 Index #08001
Professor Golfetti
Prereq: See online schedule for prereqs
This seminar will focus on the cardiovascular function and its response to stress, exercise and gender. Initially we will discuss the body's ability to adjust and adapt to internal and external environmental challenges. Intricate physiological mechanisms underlie these conditions. We will also consider the gender differences in the cardiovascular responses to exercise and stress. Physical and mental stressors induce both short- term adjustments and long- term body adaptations. The interrelation between exercising, relaxation and cardiovascular health will be examined. Finally, significant findings on the mindfulness meditation and its effects on the cardiovascular health and stress will be reviewed.

Brain, Mind, and Behavior (3)
01:119:195:H1 Index #09588 Class Level: First Year Student
01:119:195:H2 Index #09992 Class Level: Sophomore
01:119:195:H3 Index #09993
Professor J. Schjott
The course will be organized around case stories in the fields of neurology and neuroscience. Several of the case stories are written by neuroscientist and medical doctor V.S. Ramachandran and by neurologist Oliver Sacks. They both write about patients with neurological deficits in a way that is captivating and fascinating for lay people, but also with enough detail and explanation of the underlying brain mechanisms to be useful as a first view into neuroscience. Articles by other authors from magazines such as The New Yorker, New York Times Magazine and Scientific American will also be used in the course. The course is aimed at honors students with an interest in the topic, but who may not necessarily be science majors. No prior knowledge of neurology or neuroscience is required.
