BIO 555 Neuroscience
An examination of the normal structure of the nervous system (such as the neuronal pathways involved in movement, sensation, vision, hearing, language, and cognitive functions) and the relationship of that structure to physiologic function. The cellular and molecular bases of neurologic diseases are discussed. Topics include neurotransmitters, synaptic transmission, neurochemistry, and neuropharmacology. Students are required to undertake a research project on an assigned topic that they then present to the class. Students with undergraduate credit in BIO 555/HSC 555 Neuroscience may not take this course for graduate credit.
