Catalog Description: Variable topics of special interest in the field of Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology.

Semester Details:

Medical Neuroimaging with PET and MRI

Course Description

Students will learn the basic physics of PET and MRI neuroimaging techniques, their

application in both medicine and scientific research and will explore current developments

within the neuro- and psychological sciences. This course will contain different content from the

current neuroimaging course offered (NBB425 / PSY425) by specifically focusing on MRI and

PET. We will also utilize problem- and case-based learning, which are similar to the current

teaching practices of medical schools. Upon completion of the semester long course, students

will have a rich understanding of how PET and MRI experiments operate, be able to critically

analyze journal articles that utilize these techniques and be able to debate their applications in

science and medicine.
