Cellular Aspects of Neurophysiology

Catalog description

The course covers ion channels in excitable membranes, synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. It correlates the properties of ion channels and synaptic transmission with their physiological functions, such as learning and memory and sensory information processing. It discusses the organization principles for the formation of functional neural networks at synapse and cellular levels. Prerequisite(s): A BIO 121 or A BIO 130 and A BIO 341. May not be offered in 2024-2025.
