BIOL 103L Biology of Addiction Lab
In this course, we will examine the anatomy and physiology of organ systems affected by alcohol and other psychoactive drugs of abuse. We will use fruit flies as a model to determine the effects of alcohol on their physiology and reproductive success. We will conduct two experiments on human volunteers: effects of caffeine on the cardiovascular system and the effects of ethanol on balance, equilibrium, and judgment. With the laboratory component, this course fulfills University graduation requirements. Credit not applicable to the BS in Biology and Biomedical Sciences biology elective requirement.
