FOUNDATIONS OF NEUROSCIENCE

Catalog description

(Cross-listed with BMS 60200 )(Slashed with BMS 80200 and BSCI 80200 ) This is a graduate-level introductory neuroscience course that will survey aspects of molecular and cellular neuroscience, the biophysics of the nervous system, basic neuroanatomy, and the homeostatic regulation of the periphery. After completion of this course students should have an understanding of how cells of the nervous system work, how these cells interact with homeostatic systems important to the regulation of peripheral physiology and behavior, and the basic neuroanatomy of these regulatory systems, including major neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine systems. Upon completion of this course, students should be prepared for advanced neuroscience coursework.
