As part of the developing Neuroscience Program here at FAU, ISC 6930 - Seminars in Neuroscience will be offered this fall.  The course will consist of neuroscience seminars on a wide range of different topics by outside speakers and FAU faculty.  Students will also gain experience in presenting their own research or journal articles.  Learn about Neuroscience.  Meet the other FAU Students Interested in Neuroscience.  This course will likely be one of those required for an FAU Graduate Certificate in Neuroscience that is now under consideration. (To register, go to the Fall 2007 FAU schedule under Complex Systems & Brain Sciences.)


Course Policies

  1. Attendance: Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes. If you miss a class you are responsible for ALL the material covered during that class, including lecture material and rules and regulations about the course (such as these rules).
  2. Withdraw: It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw from this class, should that status be desired - the instructor cannot withdraw students from the course.
