Analytical Methods in Molecular Biology An introduction to molecular methods used to analyze the structure of genes and genomes, including DNA sequencing, cloning, restriction mapping and bioinformatic tools. Techniques to monitor transcript and protein abundance, protein-protein and DNA-protein interactions will also be covered. [Note: BIOL 240 is recommended. Recommended for students intending to take upper year molecular biology courses. Courses requiring this as a prerequisite are: BIOL 342, 335L, 365, 366, 428, 431, 434, 438. Formerly BIOL 208. Offered: F,S] Prereq: BIOL 130, 139/239; Antireq: BIOL 330 |

Cellular Neurophysiology The structure, function and diversity of ion channel and receptor signalling. The principles of synaptic connectivity and synaptic plasticity, axon guidance, synapse formation, nerve regeneration, and an exploration of in vitro and in vivo electrophysiological recording methods will be covered. [Notes: Recommended: PHYS 111/112; Offered: F of every odd year] Prereq: BIOL 273 |

Systems Neuroscience: From Neurons to Behaviour Systems neuroscience attempts to explain complex functions of the nervous system in terms of underlying neural circuits underlying behavior. Systems neuroscientists study how neural circuits analyse sensory information, form perceptsions, make decisions, and execute movements, as well as contribute to high-level mental functions such as language, memory, and self-awareness. Students should be prepared to write essays on neuroscience research topics, deliver an oral presentation, and participate in the peer review of oral presentations and in-class discussions. [Note: Biol 376 recommended. Offered F of every even year] |
