This course explores the major areas of cellular and molecular neurobiology, including excitable cells and membranes, ion channels and receptors, synaptic transmission, cell-type determination, axon guidance, neuronal cell biology, neurotrophin signaling and cell survival, synapse formation and neural plasticity. Material includes lectures and exams, and involves presentation and discussion of primary literature. It focuses on major concepts and recent advances in experimental neuroscience.
This course includes:
- Surveying the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neuronal communication.
- Coversion channels in excitable membrane, synaptic transmission, and synaptic plasticity.
- Correlation of the properties of ion channels and synaptic transmission with their physiological function such as learning and memory.
- Discussion of the organizational principles for the formation of functional neural networks at synaptic and cellular levels.
