This course aims to provide a foundation in the underlying mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders. We will explore through lectures and readings of primary literature a number of important neurological and psychiatric diseases, including including schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, sleep disorders, anxiety disorders, and Parkinson's disease. This course focuses on the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neurological disorders and is designed to engage students who wish to study basic aspects of brain function. |

Teaching modality: For Fall 2020 this course will be on-line only. This will ensure teaching continuity for the semester regardless of any changes occurring over the course of semester. It will also offer the same teaching experience to all students, whether they be on campus, at home or overseas. My class design will accommodate both synchronous and asynchronous learning. This will be advantageous should anyone get sick or quarantined, allowing me to help you catch up and complete the semester successfully. I have developed a flipped classroom model, which will provide pre-class content (videos, readings, etc.) then workshop-type classes with interactive activities in synchronous sessions. This modality will also accommodate completely asynchronous participation for students in different time zones or who may become ill. I feel that I can provide a more personal and more inclusive academic course by teaching in this way. I envision frequent 1-on-1 remote meetings with my students and an online classroom with a good sense of community. I fully expect many students to be on campus, and will help facilitate study groups and use of library and technology resources
