SNCME BIOC 3111: SENSORY, NERVOUS CELLS & MEMBRANE EXCITABILITY

The course explores sensory cells for sight, hearing, feeling and smell, and the mechanisms that help us to receive sensory information, and the information is processed by the vital areas of the brain. The excitable cells, their structure and function and their relevance and techniques for studying them will be discussed. Finally, the role of ion channels, and ion transporters proteins, the relationship between cellular structure and the function of excitable cells, features of synapses that support faster chemical neurotransmission and its modification, and the methods used to analyze.
