NROSCI 1015 - PHYSIOLOGY & CHEMISTRY NEURONS


Minimum Credits: 5
Maximum Credits: 5
The first part of this course will cover the electrical properties of nerve cells and of neuronal communication. The topics to be addressed include the resting potential, voltage- and neurotransmitter-dependent ion channels, action potential generation, and fast synaptic transmission. The second half of the course will examine the chemical processes involved in communication between neurons and their targets. Basic biochemical and morphological characteristics of neuronal transmission will be discussed.
