NSC 325: Neurophysiology


Goal: To familiarize the student with the theoretical bases and experimental methods of modern neurobiology, appropriate to studying the structure and function of individual nerve cells and small neuronal systems.
Content: A practice-oriented introduction to cellular and systems neurobiology. Laboratory exercise and discussion topics will include electrophysiological, histophysiological, and neurochemical techniques, neuronal membrane dynamics, synaptic function and plasticity, sensory coding, sensorimotor coordination, central pattern generation, and network function. Methods of study will include electrophysiological recording from invertebrate and embryonic vertebrate preparations, neurochemical and microsurgical manipulation, computer and electronic simulations, and correlational network analysis.
Prerequisite(s): BIO 103  or BIO 110 ; BIO 203  or PSY 305 ; PSY 207  or consent of instructor.
Cross-Listed as: BIO 325 .
Credit: 4
