Prequequisites and Instructor Consent

This is an advanced graduate-level course requiring intensive reading of original research articles.  Most lecturers will spend little time discussing basic concepts of cellular, molecular, or systems neuroscience and pharmacology.  So it is important that students have a fundamental understanding of the ionic bases of resting and action potentials, neurotransmitters, their receptors and their actions, as well as the somatic sensory system.  Lecturers in the course will assume that students are already comfortable with this material.

Recommended preparation for this course would ideally include graduate level courses in cellular/molecular and systems neuroscience.  An introductory course in pharmacology would be beneficial.  Solid performance in similar undergraduate courses may also be considered.

Please contact either co-course director for more information or permission to register.
