NEUR   504 CELLULAR NEUROPHYSIOLOGY I&II            Credits 3.00  Spring 2000
Includes the properties of excitable nerve membranes and chemical
synapses; theory of ions in solutions, ion conduction through membranes,
ion transport, linear cable theory, nonlinear properties of neurons, and
stochastic properties of single ion channels.  Synaptic transmission
including, quantal analysis; the role of calcium and transmitter
release, and postsynaptic mechanisms.
Prereq- permission of the instructor; calculus, physics.
001 TTH     03:30PM-05:00PM SH*460   TBA                            *CURRENT ENR: 0

NEUR   505 OPTICAL IMAGING                          Credits 3.00  Spring 2000
Begins with a theoretical portion introducing the fundamentals of
optical imaging of neural activity, presenting devices that are
employed, and reviewing applications and their results. In a practical
component, students design and perform simple in vitro experiments,
gaining hands-on experience with this exciting and powerful technology.
Permission of instructor.
001 TTH     02:00PM-03:20PM SH*460   TBA                            *CURRENT ENR: 0

NEUR   506 CONCEPTS OF LEARNING & MEMORY            Credits 3.00  Spring 2000
This field has exploded with the introduction of new techniques,
approaches, and concepts. Includes classical and modern concepts of
learning and memory across all levels, including behavioral, anatomical,
cellular, molecular and genetic. Basic concepts will be related to known
diseases of learning and memory.
Prereq- Neuroscience Core Curriculum course and instructor permission.
001 TWTH    09:00AM-10:15AM TBA      TBA                            *CURRENT ENR: 0
001 TH      07:00PM-08:00PM TBA      TBA                            *CURRENT ENR: 0

NEUR   507 NEUROBIOLOGY OF DISEASE                  Credits 2.00  Spring 2000
Analyzes current basic research on nervous system disease and the
biology of primary disorders of the nervous system, at molecular,
genetic, and cellular levels. For each level, from the retina  and
neuromuscular junction to the frontal lobes, clinical features of
prototype disorders will be described and pathophysiological mechanisms
explored
Prereq- Permission of instructor.  Limited enrollment.
001 TTH     01:00PM-02:00PM TBA      TBA                            *CURRENT ENR: 0
