I know that 2F03 is more calculation (nerst) and other more cellular approaches to neuroscience which s good if you ever want to study it in depth. For example say you wanted to know the molecular basis behind Alziehmers. If you are already taking alot of science courses and thing neurosci is cool, and want to learn a more general anatomy/behavioral approach to neuroscience then I would recomend 2
N03 (which I have taken)- there was a bit of memorizing required with learning the parts of the brain and diseased states so you need to keep up with your lectures.
LIFE SCI 3B03 NEUROBIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF BEHAVIOUR A multidisciplinary approach to examining the neurobiological mechanisms of behaviour in both normal and "maladaptive" functioning conditions.
Three lectures/seminars; one term
Prerequisite(s):
BIOLOGY 2B03 or LIFE SCI 2B03 and 2C03
The above is acutally as course that you can take later and supposedly they are working on making it more cellular based (talked to the prof)
It all depends how commited and in depth you want to learn about neuro psych and such
2N03 is also scientific but I found it was more anatomy based than cellular. For example you would look at what parts of the brain can result in abberant behaviors and defficiencies, in steps so for a week temporal, parietal...and so forth.
