Awful
Teacher is a smart guy. He wrote the textbook. The material is very difficult. His tests are tricky. If you understand biology and neuroscience you will fail in his class. I recommend taking some other course. Lecture notes are not available. Be sure to go to class. He can be very condescending.

Being a graduating senior, I can easily say that this is the HARDEST class I've ever taken. Professor Grau wrote part of the textbook, so he's incredibly knowledgeable about the material that he teache. The thing is that he also expects you to be as knowledgeable as he is. It's a very science based class. Make sure that you have a good understanding of neuroscience and biology before you register. The tests give are extremely tricky.

My current research examines neural plasticity within the spinal cord. Our work has shown that spinal neurons can support some simple forms of learning. On-going studies are examining the underlying neurobiological mechanisms and the implications of this work for recovery after spinal cord injury. Our work is funded by NINDS and the Neilsen Foundation.
Specialties: Learning, spinal cord plasticity, pain modulation, recovery after spinal cord injury
