1.
Outline
Animal Physiology is the study to understand life phenomena from the individual side. This lecture will be widely explained the life phenomena consisting of mutual coordination of the nervous system, the endocrine system and the immune system, which are important as maintenance functions of homeostasis of individuals, including the latest reviews and original papers. In this lecture, students will acquire knowledge on DP1 and DP2 and train their integrated thinking skills.

2.
Objectives
Life activities of animals are carried out by using their higher functions of the brain. In addition, diseases related to the brain such as dementia, mood disorders and developmental disorders are currently becoming major social problems. The goal of this lecture is to understand the life activities of animals at the molecular, cell, tissue and individual levels, focusing on brain science. Students can understand, describe, and explain verbally the contents of the latest original papers.
3.
Grading Policy
Evaluation is comprehensively conducted based on the presentation of the issues in the lecture (approximately 70%) and the issue report (approximately 30%). The report will be returned after scoring.

4.
Textbook and Reference
Handbook of Neuroscience for the Behavioral Sciences. Vol1, (ISBN 978-0-470-08356-7), Vol2 (ISBN 978-0-470-08357-4) Edited by Berntson GG and Cacioppo JT (WILEY)
There is no need to buy a textbook. Prints will be distributed if necessary.
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
This lecture is based on the basic knowledge of biochemistry, cell biology, animal physiology, and molecular biology in undergraduate program, and the acquisition of Brain and Neuroscience in the graduate program. Review these related subjects in advance. Please read the original article specified before the lecture and the textbook page shown below each time, and note the technical terms you do not understand (about 4 hours). After the lecture, read the textbook page shown below each time, and summarize the contents of the technical terms that you did not understand at the time of preparation (about 2 hours). The point that the student did not understand needs the individual correspondence such as asking a teacher.

6.
Note
Since English original papers and reviews are used, you will need a dictionary.
