NROSCI 1012 - NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course examines the functioning of neurons and synapses, the basic units responsible for fast communication within the nervous system. The course focuses on the elegant use of electrical mechanisms by the nervous system, and on the powerful quantitative approach to scientific investigation that is fundamental to neurophysiology. Topics include: principles of electric current flow exploited by the nervous system; the basis of the resting potential of neurons; the structure and function of voltage-gated and neurotransmitter-gated ion channels; the generation and propagation of action potentials; the physiology of fast synaptic communication.
