This course introduces key concepts and exciting research in neuroscience to students interested in how the brain enables us to sense, act, think, and remember. The course spans all levels of inquiry, from molecules to cells, circuits, systems, and animal behavior. The process of discovery will be emphasized, and students will interact in class with scientists who made key discoveries. Lectures follow the textbook "Principles of Neurobiology" written by the instructor. No prerequisites other than a keen curiosity about the brain.

Complex biological behaviors through the integration of computational modeling and molecular biology. Topics: reconstructing biological networks from high-throughput data and knowledge bases. Network properties. Computational modeling of network behaviors at the small and large scale. Using model predictions to guide an experimental program. Robustness, noise, and cellular variation. Prerequisites: CME 102; BIO 82, BIO 84; or consent of instructor.

Physiology of intact human tissues, organs, and organ systems in health and disease, and bioengineering tools used (or needed) to probe and model these physiological systems. Topics: Clinical physiology, network physiology and system design/plasticity, diseases and interventions (major syndromes, simulation, and treatment, instrumentation for intervention, stimulation, diagnosis, and prevention), and new technologies including tissue engineering and optogenetics. Discussions of pathology of these systems in a clinical-case based format, with a view towards identifying unmet clinical needs. Learning computational skills that not only enable simulation of these systems but also apply more broadly to biomedical data analysis. Prerequisites: CME 102; PHYSICS 41; BIO 82 OR 83; BIO 84. CS 106A or programming experience highly recommended.

ONLINE Offering of BIOE 103. This pilot class, BIOE103B, is an entirely online offering with the same content, learning goals, and prerequisites as BIOE 103. The class is open to BioE-declared students who are not on campus in the spring. Students attend class by watching videos and completing assignments remotely.
