BIO304H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Medulla Oblongata, Neuroscience, Gap Junction
Document Summary
Neurobiology studying physiology, anatomy, pathology of nervous system. Studying cells of ns and the organization of the cells in circuits that process info a mix of biology and neuroscience. Neurophysiology studying chemical + electrical components of ns function, need to understand anatomy. Pathology = abnormalities in anatomy + physiology examining tissues to diagnose disease. Neurobiology studies the brain and nervous system. Neurophysiology: the study of how the nervous system works on the cellular and. Neurobiology: the study of how the nervous system operates on the organizational, development and function of these bodily components molecular level systemic or anatomical level. The human brain is complex (lots of neurons + connections) Invertebrates have a simpler nervous system with easy to control features and info is extrapolated to a more complex system. Invertebrates have more of a neural network than centralized brain (nerve nets in hydra + cnidarians)
