About the Course
This course serves as an introduction to the basic principles
of cellular and molecular neurobiology and nervous systems.
The main topics include: Organization of simple networks,
neural systems and behavior; how the brain develops and the
physiology and communication of neurons and glia; the molecular
and genetic basis of cell organization; ion channel structure
and function; the molecular basis of synaptic receptors; transduction
mechanisms and second messengers; intracellular regulation
of calcium; neurotransmitter systems, including excitation
and inhibition, neuromodulation, system regulation and the
cellular basis of learning, memory and cognition. The course
is intended for students majoring in neuroscience but is open
to all students with the required prerequisites.
