PHYL 2570
Cellular Neurophysiology
This course provides an introduction to the function of the nerve cells of the brain, which forms the basis for explaining features of brain function in terms of activity of individual cells and their membrane properties, as well as small networks of neurons. The course is designed for all students wishing to take more advanced courses in, or to major in, Neuroscience. Although the course covers topics of neuroscience at all levels, the content is directed towards cellular neuroscience; detailed coverage of the strictly developmental systems or molecular levels of neuroscience is provided in other courses. DIRECTOR(S): N. Crowder, P. Cote, S. Krueger
