NEUROSC M101BNeuroscience: From Molecules to Mind—Molecular and Developmental Neuroscience
Neuroscience, Undergraduate · 5 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
(Same as Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology M175B, Physiological Science M180B, and Psychology M117B.) Molecular biology of channels and receptors: focus on voltage dependent channels and neurotransmitter receptors. Molecular biology of supramolecular mechanisms: synaptic transmission, axonal transport, cytoskeleton, and muscle. Classical experiments and modern molecular approaches in developmental neurobiology.
