BIOL 394 - Neurobiology Techniques

Credit(s): 2
Lecture: 1
Non-Lecture: 3
An introduction to the methods and experimental strategies used to explore the structure and function of the nervous system. Students will become familiar with physiological methods such as extracellular and intracellular recording of neural activity, and the use of computers for data acquisition and analysis. Students will learn anatomical methods for identification of neuronal projections, staining to reveal neuronal form, and immunocytochemistry to identify neurotransmitters, receptors, and other molecular structures. Offered every fall.

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 300 and (BIOL 204 or BIOL 216 or BIOL 223).
