Offered in 2000-2001 and subsequent alternate years. Seminar format reinforced with laboratory sessions and compute r-based models of excitable nerve and heart membranes and of single ionic channels. Permission of the course supervisor. Enrolment is limited. A multidisciplinary graduate level course exposing students to the clinical aspects of neuroscience.
Didactic lectures cover detailed organization of the nervous system with clinical implications.
Laboratories review basic neuroanatomy and pathology. Clinical demonstrations expose students to several neurological disorders. A course for graduate students to explore more advanced concepts of sensorimotor integration in the nervous system. The course will consist of weekly sessions focusing on specific concepts such as feature detection, population coding, sensorimotor transformations, reflexes versus voluntary control, central pattern generators. An advanced course for honours and graduate students in which selected areas of physiology are studied in depth.
