HUMBIO 158: The Human Genome and Disease (BIO 109A, BIOC 109A, BIOC 209A)

The variability of the human genome and the role of genomic information in research, drug discovery, and human health. Concepts and interpretations of genomic markers in medical research and real life applications. Human genomes in diverse populations. Original contributions from thought leaders in academia and industry and interaction between students and guest lecturers. Students with a major, minor or coterm in Biology: 109A/209A or 109B/209B may count toward degree program but not both.

HUMBIO 158G: Genomics, Bioinformatics and Medicine (BIOC 158, BIOC 258, BIOMEDIN 258)

Molecular basis of inherited human disease. Diagnostics approaches: simple Mendelian diseases and complex, multifactorial diseases. Genomics: functional genomics, epigenetics, gene expression, SNPs, copy number and other structural genomic variations involved in disease. Novel therapeutic methods: stem cell therapy, gene therapy and drug developments that depend on the knowledge of genomics. Personal genomics, pharmacogenomics, clinical genomics and their role in the future of preventive medicine. Prerequisites: BIO 41 or HUMBIO 2A or consent of instructor. Those with credit in BIOC 118 not eligible to enroll. Course webpage: http://biochem158.stanford.edu/

HUMBIO 160: Human Behavioral Biology (BIO 150, BIO 250)

Multidisciplinary. How to approach complex normal and abnormal behaviors through biology. How to integrate disciplines including sociobiology, ethology, neuroscience, and endocrinology to examine behaviors such as aggression, sexual behavior, language use, and mental illness.
Last offered: Spring 2014 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci, WAY-SMA

HUMBIO 161: The Neurobiology of Sleep (BIO 149, BIO 249)

Preference to seniors and graduate students. The neurochemistry and neurophysiology of changes in brain activity and conscious awareness associated with changes in the sleep/wake state. Behavioral and neurobiological phenomena including sleep regulation, sleep homeostasis, circadian rhythms, sleep disorders, sleep function, and the molecular biology of sleep. Enrollment limited to 16.

HUMBIO 167: The Art of Vision

This course concerns eyes and art. It asks how eyes are built, how they process visual information, and how they are affected by diseases that are major problems in our society. These topics are illustrated through fine art and famous artists, and we explore the implications of both normal and abnormal vision for art. There are short diversions into animal eyes and the role of vision in music, literature, and sports.

HUMBIO 180: Human Skeletal Anatomy (ANTHRO 175, ANTHRO 275, BIO 174, BIO 274)

Study of the human skeleton (a. k. a. human osteology), as it bears on other disciplines, including medicine, forensics, archaeology, and paleoanthropology (human evolution). Basic bone biology, anatomy, and development, emphasizing hands-on examination and identification of human skeletal parts, their implications for determining an individual¿s age, sex, geographic origin, and health status, and for the evolutionary history of our species. Three hours of lecture and at least three hours of supervised and independent study in the lab each week.
Terms: Win | Units: 5 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci, WAY-SMA
Instructors: Klein, R. (PI)

HUMBIO 186: Biological Clocks

The biological basis for endogenous timekeeping in organisms from flies to human beings. How biological clocks are constructed at the molecular, tissue, and behavioral levels; how these clocks interact with other physiological systems and allow animals to anticipate changes in their environment. Applications of circadian rhythm principles to treating human disorders and diseases such as cancer. Prerequisite: Biology or Human Biology core, or consent of instructor.
| UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci

HUMBIO 21: Introduction to Brain and Behavior (BIO 20)

Evolutionary principles to understand how the brain regulates behavior physiologically, and is also influenced by behavioral interactions. Topics include neuron structure and function, transmission of neural information, anatomy and physiology of sensory and motor systems, regulation of body states, the biological basis of learning and memory, and behavioral abnormalities.
| UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci

HUMBIO 163: Neural Systems and Behavior (BIO 163, BIO 263)

The field of neuroethology and its vertebrate and invertebrate model systems. Research-oriented. Readings include reviews and original papers. How animal brains compare; how neural circuits are adapted to species-typical behavior; and how the sensory worlds of different species represent the world. Lectures and required discussions. Satisfies Central Menu Area 3 for Bio majors. Prerequisites: BIO 42, HUMBIO 4A.
| UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci

OSPFLOR 52: Mass Extinctions and the Geology of Italy

Understanding of Earth processes and Earth history as a basis for informed citizen decisions regarding public policies and private actions. How the Earth works; perspective on modern global change through detailed examination of comparable events in Earth's past. Insights focused through the geology of Italy, which provides exceptional exposures of rocks recording ancient mass extinction events as well as opportunities to examine current volcanic and tectonic activities and their impact on nearby human populations. Designed to be open to all undergraduate students.
