Neurobiology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Mind and Brain Portal Neuroscience Portal Neurobiology is the study of cells of the nervous system and the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior. It is a subdiscipline of both biology and neuroscience . Neurobiology differs from neuroscience, a much broader field that is concerned with any scientific study of the nervous system. Neurobiology should also not be confused with other subdisciplines of neuroscience such as computational neuroscience cognitive neuroscience behavioral neuroscience biological psychiatry ... neurology , and neuropsychology despite the overlap with these subdisciplines.

Thus, not all neurons correspond to the stereotypical motor neuron with dendrites and myelinated axons that conduct action potentials. Some neurons such as

Buck 2004 Nobel Prize to: Richard Axel Linda B. Buck 4 October 2004 The 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck for discoveries concerning "odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system." Axel is University Professor at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons and Buck is currently a Member at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. Their work has increased our understanding of the sense of smell in mammals, including the diversity of odorant receptors and the mechanisms by which we experience one of our most complex senses in an orderly fashion. In many mammals, there are about one thousand odorant receptor molecules, each a member of the same family of membrane proteins but distinct in their odorant specificity. Axel and Buck identified this gene familyforming about three percent of the genomeand found that each olfactory receptor cell in the nasal epithelium expresses only one of the thousand genes. Each receptor responds to a selective set of odors, and combinations of receptor activity account for our ability to sense many distinct odors. Additional work by Axel and Buck showed that these genes also control connections the sensory cells make on neural way stationsthe glomeruliwhich display similar specificity.

Limited to 12 students. A hallmark of this course is the extensive lab work done in close collaboration with expert faculty. The course is divided into three sections: Electrophysiology, Imaging, and Molecular Neurobiology. These are taught by separate groups of faculty, usually six in each section, and with many guest lecturers. Each section begins with specific training in core laboratory techniques; students then undertake one- to two-week directed or independent projects using the methods they have learned. Didactic lectures are combined with laboratory experience in order to establish a strong conceptual foundation for each section. A typical day has 3 hours of lecture and 10 hours of lab.

The Department of Neurobiology has grown significantly over the past five years. The department currently has 19 tenure stream and 6 non-tenure stream faculty with substantial research strengths in neural development, circuit function, computation, cellular communication through receptors, channels and synapses and neurological and psychiatric diseases. Total research grant funding for the primary faculty exceeded $8.5 million dollars in FY 2003. According to NIH rankings for 2001-2002 among medical 'biology' departments, the Department of Neurobiology was ranked 6th nationally in the amount of grant funding received. Under the direction of Dr. Susan Amara, who arrived as Chair in October of 2003, the department looks forward to continued growth, expansion and innovation. The department actively integrates research efforts with other programs in the School of Medicine, (Psychiatry, Pharmacology, Neurology, Neurosurgery) the School of Engineering and in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Neuroscience). There are 15 faculty members with secondary appointments in the department.

As might be expected, neurobiology is the study of the body's nervous system. Many of the studies in neurobiology focus on the brain, but students also learn how the nervous system affects various functions such as behavior, states of consciousness and autonomic functions. The study of neurobiology can also be related to understanding and attempting to cure diseases, particularly those that affect the brain and nervous system.

Then starting in the 1970s some scientists began using precisely controlled study designs to systematically map the brain's fear system. Research in rodents revealed brain pathways, centering on the amygdala, that were preprogrammed to respond to danger. Accumulating revelations about this fear system led researchers recently to examine the human brain's response to fear with imaging studies. One study showed that pictures of frightening faces initiate a quick rise and fall of activity in the amygdala. In the future, scientists believe imaging techniques may help determine the course of treatment for disorders involving a malfunction in fear processing. For example, a person with an extreme fear of germs who continuously washes, known as an obsessive-compulsive disorder, often goes through months of behavioral therapy. The idea is to train the person to learn to overcome their fear. Insight on the fear system also is motivating researchers to untangle the possible differences between fear and anxiety. Fear involves a quick hit-and-run process in the brain. Anxiety stirs a slower reaction that lasts a while. This suggests that the processing of the two emotions may be different. Indeed, early studies show that different parts of the amygdala may process anxiety versus fear. It also appears that some illnesses result from defects in these anxiety areas while others are more linked to fear paths.

Office of Undergraduate Biology Department of Neurobiology and Behavior Program Description cellular and molecular neurobiology, neuroethology and systems neurobiology, and animal behavior and chemical ecology . Many faculty have research programs that span these different levels of analysis, a breadth of focus that makes for stimulating scientific interactions for both faculty and students. This blend of expertises also allows the Department to offer an unusual range of courses and research opportunities for undergraduates making it one of the most popular areas of study for undergraduates majoring in biology. In addition, the staff associated with the lecture and laboratory teaching program in the majors course in Introductory Biology are affiliated with the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior. The graduate program aims to advance the understanding of neurobiology and behavior by encouraging a free interchange of ideas and techniques among students and faculty. Thus a student might employ the techniques of immunocytochemistry and intracellular recording in one aspect of a project while conducting ecological surveys to study other aspects of the same project. Informal exchanges of ideas and information go on in laboratories and in weekly journal clubs, which draw undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and faculty members from across the campus to discuss articles and themes of current interest.
