NSC4356 - Neurophysiology

NSC 4356 Neurophysiology (3 semester credit hours) The proper function of the nervous system is based on bioelectricity. Electrical activity and conduction in neurons is determined to a great extent by neuronal membrane properties. This course is a survey of the active and passive biophysical properties that contribute to membrane potentials and conductance in neurons. It aims to supply the necessary information to understand how single neurons respond to electrical and chemical stimuli and how they conduct electrical signals. Prerequisites: (NSC 3361 or equivalent) and NSC 4352 and CHEM 1311 and CHEM 1312 and BIOL 2311 and (MATH 2413 or MATH 2414 or MATH 2417). (3-0) Y
