ZOOLOGY 604 — COMPUTER-BASED GENE AND DISEASE/DISORDERRESEARCH LAB2 credits.

In recent years, a large number of open access biological andbiomedical databases have become available for on-line, computerbased research. Among these databases are the National Center forBiotechnology Information, Allen Brain Atlas, NIH DAVID, Genemania,ToppClusterPhenopedia, GeneNetwork, GWAS Central, and BroadInstitute's MSIgDB. Within these and other sites is a wealth ofinformation regarding genes, gene expression, gene pathways, behavioralcharacteristics, and disorders or diseases, such as autism, arthritis,bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Learning to navigate the varioussites to take advantage of the information and push scientific discoveryforward is a valuable skill to develop for any student interested in acareer in science or medicine. In the early part of this laboratory course,students will be guided through a range of databases and shown howto extract information to develop new ideas. A key part of the course isthat each student will pick a disease or disorder of interest (e.g., autism,arthritis, epilepsy, schizophrenia) and use multiple databases to developnew ideas on which genes may be playing important, but previouslyunderappreciated or unknown roles.

ZOOLOGY/NEURODPT/PSYCH  674 — BEHAVIORALNEUROENDOCRINOLOGY SEMINAR2 credits.

Behavior results from a complex interplay among hormones, thebrain, and environmental factors. Behaviors and their underlyingneural substrates have evolved in response to specific environmentalconditions, resulting in vast species diversity in behavioral andneuroendocrine solutions to environmental problems. This seminaris designed to explore the primary literature on the neuroendocrineunderpinnings of behavior spanning from feeding to sex differences incomplex social behaviors. A range of taxonomic groups will be discussed,including (but not limited to) mammals, birds, and fish. A background inneuroscience and/or endocrinology is strongly recommended.
