Advanced study of current topics in reproductive biology. The course is comprised equally of student-led. Readings will be taken from current and classic literature. Topics covered include (but are not limited to) molecular and cellular endocrinology, hormone receptors and mechanism of action, reproductive neuroendocrinology, reproductive behavior, gametogenesis, fertilization, sexual differentiation, puberty, menopause and environmental effects on reproduction.

PGY 767 BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE. (3)
A study of selected topics in behavioral neuroscience with emphasis on recent research and theory.

PGY 771 CELL PHYSIOLOGY. (2)
A comprehensive discussion of topics in cellular physiology and biophysics using advanced texts and readings in the original literature. Includes such topics as biological membranes, transport mechanisms, effects of hormones on membranes.

PGY 813 NEUROPHYSIOLOGY. (1)
The brain uses electrical signals to process all information it receives and analyzes. Individual neurons encode complex information into simple electrical signals; the meaning behind these signals is derived from the specific interconnections of neurons. The purpose of neurophysiology is to describe how the neuron produces electrical and chemical signals and illustrate how these signals are involved in the functional organization of neural circuits. This course also describes how the central nervous system analyzes and integrates the various inputs, elicits command decisions that determine the motor and/or endocrine responses.
