This course includes topics covering neural development, neurophysiology, and neuropharmacology. Neural Development: covers neurogenesis, neuronal activity and critical periods; axon growth; degeneration and regeneration; synaptogenesis; neurotrophic factors and other topics. Neurophysiology and Computational Neuroscience: covers basic neurophysiology and synapses utilizing computational modeling of neurons to enforce concepts. Neuropharmacology: covers pharmacokinetics, pharmodynamics, Glutamate signaling, GABA signaling, Acetylcholine signaling, dopaminergic, adrenergic and serotonergic neurotransmission, Opioid Systems, Neuropeptides and a number of other topics.
