Graduate/Senior Undergraduate Course in
Neurobiology at Bamfield Marine Station
BAMFIELD MARINE STATION
Bamfield, a picturesque fishing village on the west coast of Vancouver
Island, forms the setting for the Marine Station. Nearby, Barkley Sound's
abundant marine life and rich diversity of habitats afford many unique
opportunities for teaching and research in the marine and coastal
sciences. The Station is jointly operated by the University of Alberta,
the University of British Columbia, the University of Calgary, Simon
Fraser University and the University of Victoria.
THE COURSE
Invertebrate Neurobiology (3 weeks: August 14 - Sept. 1)
Marine Science 502.2(701.2 Calgary)
A practical introduction to modern techniques in neurobiology, with an
emphasis on their application to behavioural studies. Lab exercises will
use local invertebrate fauna with emphasis on the Mollusca and
Cnidaria. Sufficient theoretical background will be given to support
laboratory work, although students are expected to have at least a senior
undergraduate standing.
PREREQUISITE: Introductory physiology: courses in physics and
invertebrates recommended
INSTRUCTORS: Dr. Andy Spencer, Bamfield Marine Station and
University of Alberta,
