Do yourself a favour (i.e. DO THIS) • read the text book before class and use the online lecture
notes• review the lectures regularly and re-read the text book
after class• this may seem like a lot to handle – trust me, its worth it.

Course web page
http://um-neuroscience.blogspot.ca/• Will contain lectures, useful information and answers to your
emailed questions.
• Lectures will be posted one week or more before they are presented in class.
• Bring lecture notes to class so that you can just add to them and not have to write
down everything I’m saying.
• I would encourage you to go through the lectures online as well because all the
material doesn’t show up in printouts.

For Next Time
Start reading Chapter 2.
You will want to read this chapter several times before the term test. There is a lot to learn here.
