Synaptic Function and Plasticity

3 credits · Undergraduate

Key recent research studies in cellular and system neurophysiology are presented and critically discussed. Emphasis is placed on plasticity, synaptic function, excitability, dendritic integration, neural networks and relevant advances in experimental methods. Newly published papers within these areas are reviewed weekly, followed by a more extensive critique of two publications.
