CSB346 covers larger scale neural circuits and their effect on respiration. The course has 2 assignment tests with open notes, 1 midterm, and a final exam, plus weekly quizzes worth 10% with unlimited attempts. Jimmy Fraigne teaches the course and is a great lecturer. If you learn better in person, this is better than the online alternative. Weekly quiz questions often appear on finals and midterms, so studying those well is important.
