This course is an advanced survey of the scientific study of learning and memory. Different perspectives will be used to review the science of learning and memory including the cellular-molecular basis of synaptic plasticity, the functional circuitry involved in learning and memory and memory systems in the brain. The course is designed to provide a deep understanding of the issues and current debates in learning and memory research and focuses specifically on animal models of memory and memory impairment. This is an interactive lecture course with a strong emphasis on student participation.

The best aspect of this class was the small class size that allowed for a significant amount of professor-student interaction. Some students found the textbook disorganized and the amount of information on exams was overwhelming. Suggestions for improvement included providing more study questions, simplifying lecture slides to include main topics, and holding class earlier in the day. Prospective students interested in learning and memory are encouraged to take this course. Students should have completed Nervous Systems before enrol ing.
