Introduction to Neurobiology
This website serves the sections of Introduction to Neurobiology taught by Dr. Michael Markham at the University of Oklahoma. This course emphasizes basic operational principles of neural systems and how neural systems control behavior. A major objective is for students students to master key "linchpin" concepts that are often difficult to comprehend at the introductory level. We will accomplish this through a highly interactive class that requires active particpation from all students.
