NEUR411

We spend about a third of our lives asleep, but know little about sleep in comparison to other vital behaviors. Even though many questions remain, a fair amount of detail has been discovered through research and medical cases. In this class, we’ll learn about the different stages of sleep and their accompanying characteristics, the brain areas and neural chemicals involved, control processes, sleep disorders, as well as the functions of sleeping and dreaming. Prerequisites: PSYC 342
