PSYC 389 - Molecular Neurobiology This course examines the cell biology behind the functioning of the nervous system. Students explore how cells make fate decisions during neural development, how neurons elaborate the complex structures they take on, how they form and refine specific connections, and how these together allow the precise transmissions of complex signals. The course also examines the molecular pathways by which sensory systems transduce physical stimuli into electrochemical signals and integrate that information into the nervous system.
