Neurochemistry

Catalog description

This course is a team-taught neurochemistry course that integrates basic biochemical mechanisms of neurotransmitter synthesis, storage, reuptake, and inactivation with applied correlates to central and peripheral nervous system neurodegenerative disorders. Organic chemistry and neurobiology/neurophysiology are required prerequisite courses. Emphasis is placed on student participation including a student-held lecture series covering a contemporary neurochemical topic of their choosing.
