CSB332H1S - NEUROBIOLOGY OF THE SYNAPSE 24L Lecturer: TBA Course Administrator: Peggy Salmon RW 424E 416-978-8608 [email protected] Prerequisite: BIO271H1/PSL300H1 Neurobiology is a sub discipline of biology & neuroscience, which is focused on the study of neurons at both the cellular and systems levels. A major focus in neurobiology research is the synapse, which is a specialized junction at which neurons communicate with one another, and with muscles and glands. In this course we will examine all aspects of the synapse in both the peripheral and central nervous systems of invertebrates and vertebrates. Topics include: ionic gradients, action potentials, synapse formation, synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, consciousness, and neurological disorders. The marking scheme normally involves a quiz (20%), mid-term (30%), and a final exam (50%; cumulative).
