BIOENG 2585 - QUANTITATIVE CELLULAR NEUROSCIENCE


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course is designed to be a comprehensive introduction to cellular neuroscience for engineers. Modern cellular neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the function of single cells and populations in the context of the thinking brain. This course provides a survey of cellular brain science ranging from molecules to simple neural circuits. In addition to principles and theory this class will also cover basic quantitative concepts and provide opportunity to analyze real-life data from molecular and cellular neural engineering. In the context of each cellular brain function we will also address cellular dysfunction with translational engineering applications to neurological brain disease. Required software is MATLAB. Enrolled students should have a working knowledge of matrix algebra, first order dynamic systems and programing in MATLAB environment.
