| PSY P4660 - Molecular And Cellular Neurobiology |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course is intended to provide a general background into the cellular and molecular processes that give the nervous system its unique character. In this course we will cover the cell biology of neurons and glia and the structural and molecular elements that distinguish these cells from others in the body. It explores the development of both the peripheral and central the nervous system from early stages to the generation of neurons and glia. We also study some developmental processes such as cell adhesion, migration and axonal outgrowth, as well as the establishment of synaptic connections, and the elimination of cells and synapses. We will explore the cellular processes and molecules involved in activity dependent synaptic rearrangements and mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. We will also explore the genetic and molecular approaches that have been used in model organisms including the mollusk Aplysia, the fly Drosophila and rodents, to uncover the biological basis for learning and memory. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
