Credits: 3
Dual-Listed Class: Dual-Listed Class
Description: Understand the fundamental properties of neuronal membranes, their ionic channels and the molecular mechanisms underlying these properties. Understand the basic mechanisms of synaptic organization, including the roles of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Apply basic neuronal network concepts to the understanding of motor control, vision, somatic sensations, audition, consciousness, autonomic functions, language, emtions, attention, and learning and memory. Utilze basic mechanisms of neuronal development and experience to understand the role that each plays in central nervous system function.
