BIOL 252 |
Neuronal Cell Biology is an important and fast moving field. The brain cannot be understood without first elucidating the properties and functions of its component neurons. This course will focus on cell biological studies of the nervous system. We will explore the structure and function of neurons, synapses and circuits. Using both text books and primary literature, we will examine the basic cell biolgical mechanisms which underlie the formation, function and plasticity of neurons and circuits. Areas studied will include polarity, synapse formation, synaptic transmission, intracellular transport, plasticity and regeneration. |
