ISCI 2A18 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Total Internal Reflection, Axon Terminal, Thalamus
Document Summary
Most neuroscientists are neurobiologists (biophysicists, molecular biologists, planet, some (not all) include a brain. All biological systems are based on physical and chemical systems. Deda gillespie: office hours monday, 1-3 pm. Neuroscience study of nervous systems, including all that have evolved on this. Systems, cellular, and molecular levels (cid:523)recently (cid:498)cognitive(cid:499) neuroscience focus on biochemists, cell biologists, physiologists (cid:524) Fundamental unit, specialized structure (anatomy) axon, cell body, (electrically) excitable (electrophysiology, imaging) lipophilic membrane, Secretory cell (electrophysiology, imaging) highly-specialized proteins for. Neural circuit functional building block of nervous system, at least one neuron. Glia more numerous than neurons in the brain. Functional group of a neuron and an effector or receptor cell that together. Types of cells, together with their connectivity pattern, determine the kinds. Functional group of 2 or more neurons that together perform one or more. How neurons communicate (electrophysiology, imaging, anatomy) dendrite selective ion channels/transporters regulated release.
