PSYC 35 Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience
This course focuses on cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the development and function of the nervous system. The course focuses on three phases of cellular neuroscience: 1) Developmental neuroscience including cell division, migration, and survival; 2) Neural communication including the function of ion channels and synaptic plasticity; and 3) Molecular mechanisms of neurological diseases and therapeutic approaches. Lectures are supplemented by in class discussion and exploration of techniques for studying cellular neuroscience including microscopy, electrophysiology, advanced genetic approaches, and animal models used to study the nervous system and neurological disorders.
