This course explores the fundamental molecular and cellular events underlying the processing of information and the maintenance of homeostasis. Topics include neurons and glia, the electrophysiology of cells membranes, synaptic transmission, motor and sensory systems, chemical messengers, neuroendocrine interactions, neural circuitry, and selected topics in neuropharmacology. It is strongly recommended that the student take BIO-210 (Into to Anatomy and Physiology) before taking BIO-310.
