Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | To teach the basic functioning mechanisms of the cells that make up the nervous system and to examine the nerve cells from a biophysical point of view. To learn the components of the motor system related to the nervous system and the relationships between them |
| Course Content: | In the first half of the course, the basic biophysical concepts of neuroscience, the biological structures and molecular functions of nerve cells, the interaction of neurons at the molecular level, the molecular pathways of neurochemical transmission and the electrochemical basis of neurotransmission will be covered. In the second half of the course, the motor components of the nervous system and the brain regions and functions that are effective in the regulation of motor movements will be discussed. |
