From Neurons to Behavior in Health and Disease

Catalog description

Presents the stretch reflex as an example of a neural circuit and how it mediates movement. Discussion of the neuronal components that form the stretch reflex circuit and how electrical signals are generated and processed in this circuit under normal and pathological conditions. Computer modeling of neuronal elements of the stretch reflex circuit, including simulations and comparison of modeling data to experimental results. Emphasis on active participation. Includes accompanying lab exercises.
