  • NRSC 1020 - Exploring the Neuroscience Major
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2024
    This course familiarizes students to the neuroscience major at CU Boulder, and helps students develop key skills needed for academic success. Students will learn about department and campus resources, and how to get involved in the wider neuroscience community, including clubs and research. An overview of select neuroscience-related topics, and possible career paths, helps students determine goodness of fit. This elective course is designed for first-year and other students exploring educational and career opportunities in this exciting field.
  • NRSC 2200 - Laboratory Techniques in Neuroscience
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Fall 2018 / Spring 2019 / Fall 2019 / Spring 2020 / Fall 2020 / Spring 2021 / Fall 2021 / Spring 2022 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024 / Fall 2024
    Introduces students to many basic and essential laboratory skills in neuroscience research. Students will learn experimental methods and perform experiments depicting principles in neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, and the fundamentals of neuroimaging techniques.
  • NRSC 4062 - The Neurobiology of Stress
    Primary Instructor - Summer 2018 / Fall 2018 / Summer 2019 / Fall 2019 / Summer 2020 / Fall 2020 / Summer 2021 / Fall 2021 / Summer 2022 / Fall 2022 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023 / Summer 2024 / Fall 2024
    Provides an introduction to the concept of stress and the physiological systems involved.
