An introduction to fundamental concepts in neurobiology. An emphasis is placed on the molecular organization, biochemistry and physiology of nerve cells and how the organization of these cells underlies the functional properties of the brain and behavior. Topics to be covered include membrane biophysics, synaptic physiology sensory transduction, motor control and the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory. Offered every other year. Lecture 3 hrs.
