BIO 31N

The Biology of Down Syndrome: When Three's a Crowd

UNITS:3
GRADING:Letter (ABCD/NP)
LEVEL:Undergrad
GER:WAY-AQR, WAY-SMA

We will explore the biology of Down Syndrome (DS) with a focus on the neurobiology of learning and memory. We will get to know individuals with DS. We will reinforce our knowledge of physiology at the freshman-sophomore level with the purpose of identifying the important concepts relevant to health. In workshops, we will develop teaching tools for promoting physiology education at the post-secondary level for individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities such as DS.
