Synapse Course
This Synapse Course equips biological science professionals with practical skills to design LTP experiments, master hippocampal electrophysiology techniques like fEPSP and patch clamp, rigorously analyze synaptic plasticity data, troubleshoot recordings effectively, and integrate molecular synaptic changes with circuit-level functions and memory models. It provides focused guidance from membrane potentials and vesicle release to AMPA/NMDA receptors and signaling, enabling robust experimental design, data analysis, and connections to broader neuroscience concepts.
