Course/Module description:
The course provides an introduction to cellular physiology, nerve physiology, and nervous system physiology.
Course/Module aims:
The course aims at introducing students to mechanisms underlying: transfer of information and particles across membranes, transfer of information between and within neurons, and information detection and transfer within the nervous system.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
At the end of the course the students will be familiar with:
- mechanisms enabling or causing particle movement across membranes.
- mechanisms enabling signal transfer along neuronal processes.
- mechanisms enabling information transfer between neurons and between neurons and muscle.
- Principles governing organization and information processing in sensory systems.
- Central and peripheral mechanisms in the visual, hearing, vestibular, taste, olfactory (including chemical communication in animals), somatosensory and pain
systems.
- Pathways and principles governing movement.
Attendance requirements(%):
Attendance in all exercises.
Teaching arrangement and method of instruction:
The course will be generally taught on campus, unless Covid-19 related restrictions will change that.
Course/Module Content:
introduction to neuroscience.
Transport across membranes, information transfer across neuronal processes, information transfer between neurons and between neurons and muscle, synaptic transmission, introduction to human neuroanatomy, sensory systems (vision, hearing,taste, smell, somatosensory, and pain), and motor systems including the autonomic nervous system.
