BIONB 4910
Principles of Neurophysiology

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Laboratory-oriented course designed to teach the concepts and tools of cellular neurophysiology through hands-on experience with extracellular and intracellular electrophysiological techniques, and computer acquisition and analysis of laboratory results. Students explore signal transmission in the nervous system by examining the cellular basis of resting and action potentials, and synaptic transmission and optogenetic control of behavior and physiology. Lecture time is used to review nervous system physiology, introduce laboratory exercises, discuss lab results and primary research papers, and for presentation of additional experimental preparations and methods. Invertebrate preparations are used as model systems.


Prerequisites one of the following courses: general biology, BIONB 2220, physiology covering neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission, or permission of instructor.
