Document Summary
Integrative neuroscience: integration of different levels of analysis that allow us to understand how physiological processes in the brain generate an output the behaviour. Integrative aims to integrate all these specializations while focusing on primary role of brain to help animal survive & prosper. Drosophila, zebrafish, mouse: circuitry models are good for studying synaptic plasticity, learning & memory; includes. Anatomy of ns: pns can regenerate, cns cannot (due to harsh environment created by glial cells, somatic ns takes info from external environment & innervates effector muscles; Glial cells: help to separate neurons from outer environment which is essential to their life & functioning; divided into macroglia and microglia, cns: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, radial glia (bergman & & its axons synapse in the molecular layer: both neurons & glia are derived from the same common progenitor cell; both have a.
