NEUROSC M101ANeuroscience: From Molecules to Mind—Cellular and Systems Neuroscience
Neuroscience, Undergraduate · 5 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
(Same as Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology M175A, Physiological Science M180A, and Psychology M117A.) Students must receive grade of C– or better to proceed to next course in series. Cellular neurophysiology, membrane potential, action potentials, and synaptic transmission. Sensory systems and motor system; how assemblies of neurons process complex information and control movement.
P/NP or letter grading.
