UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE NATURAL SCIENCES TRIPOS PART II BIOLOGICAL & BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES (BBS) OPTIONS IN PHYSIOLOGY, DEVELOPMENT, AND NEUROSCIENCE offered by the interdepartmental Neuroscience course & by the Dept of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience Course organiser: Dr. John Rogers General enquiries: Paul Frost & Vicky Johnson (Room C2, Physiology), or Web sites: Part II BBS: http://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/sbs/facbiol/bbs/index.html Part II Neuroscience: http://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/teaching/neuroscience/ Part II PDN: http://www.pdn.cam.ac.uk/teaching/part2/index.html For details see the separate brochures issued for these three Part II courses. This brochure summarises the content of the BBS options. Many of the modules are interdepartmental. Module organisers listed are all within the Dept. of PDN unless otherwise stated. The Part II BBS course is for students who want a course based entirely on lecture and library work, with no practical component. Students take a major subject (consisting of 4 lecture modules) and a minor subject (one lecture module), and write a dissertation. The dissertation may be offered within any of the three major subjects listed here. Students wishing to take Part II BBS in Neuroscience or PDN should apply via CamSIS. BBS major subjects: 415) PDN – Developmental and reproductive biology [6 places] PDN modules P3, P4; P6, P7: Michaelmas Term P3. Fetal and placental physiology (Dr. Dino Giussani) P4*. Development: Patterning an embryo (Dr. Richard Adams) Lent Term P6*. Development: Cell differentiation and organogenesis (Dr. Howard Baylis, Dept. of Zoology & Dr Nick Brown) [lectures at 5 pm] P7. Genomics and the future of medicine (Dr. Rob White) *These modules are shared with Part II Zoology. 416) PDN – Integrative physiology [6 places] PDN modules P1, P3; P7, P8: Michaelmas Term P1. Cellular physiology (Dr. Christof Schwiening) P3. Fetal and placental physiology (Dr. Dino Giussani) Lent Term P7. Genomics and the future of medicine (Dr. Rob White) P8. Systems and clinical physiology (Dr. Stewart Sage) 417) Neuroscience [15 places]: Eight neuroscience modules are offered both within Part II Neuroscience, and within Part II PDN, and within Part II BBS (option 417). BBS students can offer 4 of the 8 Neuroscience modules as major subject 417: two modules in Michaelmas and two in Lent. (Students will have to specify which modules they will take.) The management responsibility for option 417 will lie with Part II Neuroscience. Some modules will schedule extra seminars or workshops for PDN and for P2NS students. BBS students would not have to attend these, but would be informed of any papers to be discussed.

Eight neuroscience modules are <strong>of</strong>fered both within Part II <strong>Neuroscience</strong>, <strong>and</strong><br />
within Part II PDN, <strong>and</strong> within Part II BBS (option 417). BBS students can<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer 4 <strong>of</strong> the 8 <strong>Neuroscience</strong> modules as major subject 417: two modules in<br />
Michaelmas <strong>and</strong> two in Lent. (Students will have to specify which modules<br />
they will take.) The management responsibility for option 417 will lie with Part<br />
II <strong>Neuroscience</strong>. Some modules will schedule extra seminars or workshops for<br />
PDN <strong>and</strong> for P2NS students. BBS students would not have to attend these, but<br />
would be informed <strong>of</strong> any papers to be discussed.

Two <strong>of</strong> the 8 <strong>Neuroscience</strong> modules are also <strong>of</strong>fered as BBS minor subjects<br />
(106, 111). Major subjects 415, 416, or 417 may be taken with one <strong>of</strong> these<br />
minor subjects, provided that a student taking 417 must choose 4 modules<br />
which are different from their minor subject.<br />
In the examination for the major subjects 415, 416, <strong>and</strong> 417, c<strong>and</strong>idates will not<br />
be allowed to answer questions on the module which is <strong>of</strong>fered as their minor<br />
subject.<br />
