What will I learn?
This course provides a solid foundation in neuron anatomy, resting potentials, and basic excitability. It advances to action potentials, saltatory conduction along myelinated fibres, and synaptic signalling involving major neurotransmitters and modulators. Learners will cover dendritic processing, inhibitory mechanisms, support from glial cells, neural plasticity, and core lab techniques to analyse and plan neuroscience research effectively.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master synaptic processes by mapping key neurotransmitters, receptor types, and vesicle release cycles.
- Analyse membrane potentials and action potentials with Nernst equation, Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz, and Hodgkin-Huxley models.
- Predict neuron firing patterns based on ion channels, myelin sheaths, and axon structures.
- Interpret how dendrites integrate signals, inhibition works, and plasticity maintains network balance.
- Use patch-clamp and imaging techniques to connect neuron structure with its functional roles.
