Our ability to be shaped by our experiences and our sense of personal identity require that our brain encode and store information as one of its fundamental functions. In this course we will look in detail at how neurons and neural circuits respond and change when an organism learns something new or recalls something learned in the past. The focus will be on integrating current work in basic cellular and molecular neurobiology with the experimental psychology of learning and memory. Not for credit in addition to PSY 358 with topic of "Learning and Memory."
