Physiology II - Neurophysiology

Fundamentals of neurophysiology from the cellular to the system levels. Discussion of neuroanatomy followed by the ionic and pharmacological basis of nerve and synaptic function. Specialized neuronal geometries and synaptic circuitries associated with a variety of sensory, motor and central systems. The laboratory covers extracellular and intracellular techniques in neurophysiology as well as sectioning and immunocytochemistry. Prerequisites: BI 307/BI 307L. Concurrent registration in BI 411L required. Recommended: BI 410/BI 410L. Offered in the spring semester.
