Background required includes good knowledge of neuroanatomy and physiology. Introductory neuroscience course such as Neuro 1, 92, and 93 are strongly recommended.

Overall, the students found the instructors to be well-informed about the subject matter.

The grading scheme included two midterm which counted 30% each and a final which was worth 40%. People reported spending anywhere from three to ten hours a week on this class. One complain that virtually everyone had concerned the textbook. It was described as "unhelpful" and "awful".
