Freshmen only. This course deals with some of the great scientific advances that took place during the 1800âs to the mid-1900âs. These discoveries, mostly in the area of microbiology, laid the foundations for current biomedical research. Genetics, molecular biology, much of biochemistry and biophysics, and research in many branches of medicine are based on these early studies.

Freshmen Only. A course consisting of introductory lectures followed by student presentations in the form of seminars. The issues analyzed will be: How did we arrive at the concept of the âgeneâ? Early experiments that gave substance to this concept. How did we arrive at the âone gene, one enzymeâ dogma? What is the chemical nature of the gene? Is DNA enough for regulated gene expression? Is it âall in our genesâ? What is genetic plasticity and epigenetics? What about genomics and proteomics?

This course builds on the concepts presented and discussed in General Biology I. The primary foci of this course will be on the diversity of life and on the anatomy, physiology, and evolution of plants and animals. There will be a special emphasis on human biology. The workshops that were introduced in 020.151 General Biology I will include the use of simulation software, a critique of the primary literature, and an exploration of current trends in medicine. Prereq: AS.020.151 Cross-listed with Behavioral Biology

The manifestations of all biological structures and related functions are the end effect of the formation and maintenance of complex molecular and cellular patterns. These patterns (macromolecules, cellular organelles, cells and tissues) are assembled from their constituent parts under fundamental rules not too dissimilar to those that govern the formation of snowflakes or the dewdrops on a spider web. This course (lectures and student presentations) attempts to describe these common rules and to explain the formation and function of significant biological assemblies.

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.
