Synapses are the means by which the nervous system communicates. In this seminar-style course, we will explore the molecular and physiological underpinnings of synaptic transmission. We will then examine ways in which synapses can modulate their strength during development, learning, and other adaptive processes. Prerequisites: BI 80 or BN 102. Enrollment limited to 20. Written permission required.
