BIOL 381 Neuroscience
Students will explore the fundamental unit of the nervous system by examining cellular structure and function before delving into the molecular underpinnings that facilitate communication both centrally and peripherally. Emphasis will be placed on signal propagation, second messenger modulation, potentiation, neurotransmitter synthesis and axon growth, presented through the lens of historical and contemporary research while drawing examples from clinically significant case studies.
Prerequisite
Minimum grade of a C in BIOL 190, BIOL 290, and CHEM 310
