BIOL - 440. Neurobiology

(3 hours lecture, 4 hours laboratory)
4 credit(s)
The lectures will cover the structure and function of individual neurons and neuronal circuits in both invertebrate and vertebrate species. Topics will include electrical signaling and action potentials, ion channels, synaptic transmission, neuronal plasticity, and general principles governing sensory and motor processing. The laboratory will provide students with hands on experience using fundamental electrophysiological techniques. Students will also investigate neuronal function using computer simulations of ion channels, neurons and circuits. Lab fee.

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 220 or (BIOL 110, BIOL 140, and PSYC 350)
