Class Schedule 1) Structure and function of the central nervous system
2) Homeostasis, autonomic nervous system, and endocrine system
3) Brain regulation of appetite
4) Brain regulation of biological rhythm
5) Brain regulation of body temperature
6) Brain regulation of emotion
7) Brain regulation of stress
8) Global warming, and management of heat stress in monogastric animal
9) Global warming, and management of heat stress in ruminants
10) Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock
11) Global environment and future of food production (1)
12) Global environment and future of food production (2)
13) Stress management of dairy cattle (1)
14) Stress management of dairy cattle (2)
15) Stress management of beef cattle
