How the molecules of living systems are organized into organelles, cells, tissues, and organisms will be explored, as well as how the activities of all of these are orchestrated and regulated to produce âlifeââa phenomenon greater than the sum of its parts. Considerable emphasis is placed on experimental approaches to answering these questions. Topics covered include biological membranes, cytoskeletal elements, cell locomotion, membrane and protein traffic, the nucleus, second messengers, signal transduction, cell growth, the cell cycle, the extracellular matrix, cell contacts and adhesion, intercellular communication, epithelial structure and function, and the cell biology of early development and organ function. Prereq: AS.020.305.

This course explores the outstanding problem of biology: how knowledge is represented in the brain. Relating insights from cognitive psychology and systems neuroscience with formal theories of learning and memory, topics include (1) anatomical and functional relations of cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, limbic system, thalamus, cerebellum, and spinal cord; (2) cortical anatomy and physiology including laminar/columnar organization, intrinsic cortical circuit, hierarchies of cortical areas; (3) activity-dependent synaptic mechanisms; (4) functional brain imaging; (5) logicist and connectist theories of cognition; and (6) relation of mental representations and natural language.

Prereq: 020.305 Carbohydrates are not for energy (e.g., starch) or structure (e.g., cellulose) only. Carbohydrates conjugated to proteins and lipids (Glycoconjugates) perform diverse and intricate biological reactions. More than 2/3 of all proteins in eukaryotes are glycosylated. Glycolipids are vital elements of cell membranes, especially in the nervous tissues. Many pathogens (e.g., influenza virus) utilizes glycoconjugates on human cells to invade. Structures and biological functions of glycoconjugates will be discussed in this course.
