This course focuses on the electrical properties of neurons and the ways in which electrical signals are generated, received, and integrated to underlie neuronal communication. Topics include principles of bioelectricity, the ionic basis of the resting potential and action potential, neurotransmission, synaptic integration, and neural coding schemes. Content will be delivered through lectures, labs, and tutorials.
Priority will be given to students enrolled in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op and Major/Major Co-op programs in Neuroscience. Students in other programs will be admitted as space permits.
