gene sequence and organization; and regulatory mechanisms. Fall. Crews,
Marzluff, Van Dyke, Xiong.
SENSORY NEURAL INFORMATION PROCESSING AND REPRESENTATION
(BME 221)

This course covers the function of mammalian organs and the underlying
electrical, mechanical, cellular, and molecular mechanisms in a lecture/recitation
format. Fall. Sealock.
BEHAVIOR AND ITS BIOLOGICAL BASES I
(Psychology 701)
A survey of psychological and biological approaches to the study of
sensory and perceptual information processing and of attention and arousal;
comparative, ethological, and developmental perspectives on behavior; behavioral
medicine. Fall. Psychology Staff.
DEVELOPMENTAL GENETICS
(Biology 624)
The genetic control and molecular basis for gene expression during development. Three lecture hours a week.
Prerequisites Fall. Bautch, Peifer.
BIOMEDICAL INSTRUMENTATION
