"Prof Roche has to be one of the best if not the best Neuroscience Professor. I enjoy hos mode of teaching and how he explains the slides material. He takes hos time to explain new material in a way that is easy to understand without confusion. The class is a build up of Neuro/Bio 214. I would recommend taking 214 before this one though not a must. The main focus is the synaptic proteins with a focus on the neuromuscular junction. A cool part about the class is the lab, it is very interesting, you get to dissect flies, and image their neuromuscular junction. The lab culminates with a lab report, this was really helpful in helping me think like a scientist and arrange my thoughts"
