2020-2021 Undergraduate General Catalog

BIOL 321 Neurophysiology

This course focuses on the cellular and systems physiology of the brain. Topics will include the structure and function of neurons and synapses; the coordination of populations of neurons for sensory and motor function; the molecular and neural circuit substrates of learning and memory; and special topics at the cutting edge of neurophysiology research. The course will include reading of primary literature that will occasionally touch on human disease. The laboratory component will acquaint students with simulations of neurons and neural systems, analysis of neurobiological data, and techniques in animal and human neurophysiology.
