NROC69H3: Synaptic Organization and Physiology of the Brain
The course will provide an in-depth examination of neural circuits, synaptic connectivity and cellular mechanisms of synaptic function. Similarities and differences in circuit organization and intrinsic physiology of structures such as the thalamus, hippocampus, basal ganglia and neocortex will also be covered. The goal is to engender a deep and current understanding of cellular mechanisms of information processing in the CNS.
Priority will be given to students enrolled in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op programs in Neuroscience (all Stage 2 streams) and students enrolled in the Major/Major Co-op programs in Neuroscience. Students in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op programs in Neuroscience - Stage 1 will be admitted as space permits.
