What is your favorite class?
My favorite class is MCB 160 (Introduction to Neurobiology). This class is no longer being offered as a single course in the coming semesters but it will be split into 2 similar classes. I like this course because it gave me a very multidisciplinary approach to neuroscience by working through the mechanisms and circuits of how the brain works, as well as applications such as our senses, sleep, fear, development of our nervous system over time and space, and experimental methods that helped prove the concepts discussed in class.
