MSNBIO 2632 - ADVANCED NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
Minimum Credits: 2
Maximum Credits: 2
The primary objective of this course is for students to develop critical scientific reasoning by learning to evaluate the essential components of classic research presented in well written papers. Secondarily, students will gain a solid foundation in neurophysiology by examining, in detail, the underlying principles underlying current flow through a neuron’s membrane, the generation and propagation of action potentials, synaptic transmission at the neural muscular junction, and sensory transduction. Course material will consist of papers from Hodgkin, Huxley, Katz, Fatt and others. Complementing the classic papers will be contemporary work on the same topic. Students will be expected to have had basic neurophysiology and be familiar with electrostatics, electric circuits and differential equations.
