This course will examine the d evelopment, anatomy and function of the nervous systems in various organisms with emphasis on humans and its relationship to behaviour and disease. Neuronal structure and function including synapses and neurotransmitters will be discussed. Sensory perception and motor responses will be examined. The current understanding of higher order functions of cognition, learning, memory and communication will be explored.Weekly
