Hi everyone,

My name is Madina Ghazanfar and I'm a junior majoring in biology. So far my only exposure to this subject matter has been through anatomy and physiology classes which have taken a strictly biological approach to understanding the nervous system, but I am also interested in taking this a step further and understanding the implications that functions of the nervous system have on human behavior. As I prepare for a career in the health profession, possibly in pharmacology, a deeper understanding of the "cause and effect" relationship is a base that is necessary in order to devise and/or modify treatments that are used to treat neurological disorders. This class appears to have the right balance of both neurobiology as well as behavior and so far I'm enjoying each session! I'm looking forward to a semester full of engaging discussions and hope to gain a lot from them given the vast diversity of interests of the class.
