Description: This course will allow students to develop an understanding of how neurons in the nervous system communicate using synapses, neurotransmitters and neuroactive compounds. In the context of brain disorders and their resultant defects in chemical communication, students will gain an appreciation for how neurons and neural networks react to internal and external stimuli and how their activity underlies brain function.
