This course provides an in-depth exploration of the principles of organization of nervous systems, with a special emphasis on the functional organization of the human brain. Through lectures, in-class discussion of required reading assignments, and class projects, students will learn about the basic anatomical ground-plans of the brains of species ranging from flies to humans and then focus on the details of organization of the sensory and motor systems and neural circuits that control certain complex functions in humans. The cross-species comparisons will highlight fundamental concepts as well as key neuroanatomical specializations that match a particular organism's behavior to its environment.
