An in-depth study of the biophysical properties of neurons and diseases that affect the function of neurons and glia. Topics will include cable properties of dendrites, voltage- and ligand-dependent channels, and molecular mechanisms responsible for neuronal death and regeneration. The course will be based on lectures and student seminars of selected readings. Given concurrently with LISC-422*, with additional assignments for graduate students. Enrolment is limited. PREREQUISITE: LISC-322 with a minimum of B- (70%) or an equivalent course or permission of the instructor. EXCLUSION: ANAT-822*
