 LPTC

3003

OBJECTIVES:
To enable the students • To know the general organization of brain and physiological and cognitive processes. • To apply the molecular, cellular, and cognitive bases of learning and memory.

UNIT I

NEUROANATOMY

9

What are central and peripheral nervous systems; Structure and function of neurons; types of neurons; Synapses; Glial cells; myelination; Blood Brain barrier; Neuronal differentiation; Characterization of neuronal cells; Meninges and Cerebrospinal fluid; Spinal Cord.

UNIT II

NEUROPHYSIOLOGY

9

Resting and action potentials; Mechanism of action potential conduction; Voltage dependent channels; nodes of Ranvier; Chemical and electrical synaptic transmission; information representation and coding by neurons.


UNIT III

NEUROPHARMACOLOGY

9

Synaptic transmission, neurotransmitters and their release; fast and slow neurotransmission; characteristics of neurites; hormones and their effect on neuronal function.

UNIT IV

APPLIED NEUROBIOLOGY

9

Basic mechanisms of sensations like touch, pain, smell and taste; neurological mechanisms of vision and audition; skeletal muscle contraction.

UNIT V

BEHAVIOUR SCIENCE

9

Basic mechanisms associated with motivation; control of feeding, sleep, hearing and memory; Disorders associated with the nervous system.

TOTAL :45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course, students will be able:
• To know the anatomy and organization of nervous systems. • To understand the function of nervous systems. • To analyze how drugs affect cellular function in the nervous system. • To understand the basic mechanisms associated with behavioral science.
