BIOL 4200 - Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology 3 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
This course explores the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie the development, function, and plasticity of the nervous system. Topics include neuronal signaling, synapse formation and maintenance, ion channel physiology, neurotransmitter systems, intracellular signaling pathways, and the molecular basis of learning and memory. Through a combination of lectures, primary literature discussions, and experimental case studies, the course emphasizes the integration of molecular mechanisms with cellular and systems-level understanding of brain function. Includes Honors sections. Preq: BIOL 1040 and BIOL 1060 ; or BIOL 1110 . Preq or concurrent enrollment: BIOL 4610 .
This 4000-level course has a 6000-level counterpart. Students should refer to the Graduate Catalog for the 6000-level description and requirements.
