Neuroscience CHP312
Introduction
This unit provides an in-depth journey into neuroscience, with a particular focus on cellular and systems neuroscience: how neurons work together to create functional circuits. Learning material will cover the structure and function of the nervous system in the context of sensory processing, motor control, learning and memory and disease. Neuroscience builds on a basic familiarity with cell biology and provides the essential basis for understanding central nervous system disease.
