How do brains work? Globally, neuroscience research has rapidly expanded in recent years; yet, we have not found an overarching scientific theory to explain how the brain actually works. Students will examine the (often) Nobel Prize-winning research underlying fundamental principles of neuroscience and compare nervous systems of diverse organisms such as jellyfish, fruit flies, squids, mice, and humans, to understand how common designs and mechanisms generate behavior.
