This course deals with the biology of cells of higher organisms: The structure, function, and biosynthesis of cellular membranes and organelles; cell growth and oncogenic transformation; transport, receptors, and cell signaling; the cytoskeleton, the extracellular matrix, and cell movements; chromatin structure and RNA synthesis.
This course serves as an introduction to the structure and function of the nervous system. Emphasis is placed on the cellular properties of neurons and other excitable cells. Topics covered include the structure and biophysical properties of excitable cells, synaptic transmission, neurochemistry, neurodevelopment, and the integration of information in simple systems and the visual system.
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.
