Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

In this one-semester, upper-level course, the structure and function of neurons are investigated. Students will build an understanding of how neuronal cell function determines higher brain processes, such as sensation and memory. In particular, neuronal development, neuronal activity, synapse formation and synaptic transmission will be studied in detail. Prerequisites: Biology I with lab ( BIOL 1200 ) and Biology II with lab ( BIOL 1201 ), or Anatomy and Physiology I with lab ( BIOL 1304 ) and Anatomy and Physiology II with lab ( BIOL 1305 ).
