Description

Each Winter Term, the Reproductive Science Program offers a course in Mammalian Reproductive Endocrinology (PHYSIOL 541) which is part of the curriculum of three departments (Physiology, Anatomy, and Psychology). This course is a study of the physiological and behavioral actions of reproductive hormones responsible for the regulation of the reproductive systems and behavior.

Topics include:

    Properties, regulation and action of protein and steroid hormones, neuroendocrine function and feedback regulation, gonads function and development, reproductive maturation (puberty) and senescence (menopause), sexual differentiation of the brain, developmental programming, epigenetics, stress responses, metabolic control, pheromones and sexual behavior, gender and sexuality, fertilization, embryogenesis, pregnancy and parturition, clinical issues of infertility and assisted reproduction.

    Course Requirements:

    No data submitted

    Intended Audience:

    An introduction to mammalian reproductive physiology for PhD, MS and senior undergraduate students who are considering a career in the biomedical sciences.

    Prior physiology or behavioral neuroscience courses and biochemistry are required.

    Class Format:

    Instruction is via lectures by experts in the fields represented in the course.
