The aim of the course is to provide students with an understanding of the basic concepts, structure and function of the nervous system and to develop basic knowledge and skills in these subjects. It also aims to provide a foundation for further studies in neuroscience, medicine or other related fields.
Course Content
This course contains; Organisation of the nervous system,Functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system,Structure, classification and functions of neuron,Definition and functions of glial cells,Structure and function of astrocytes and the blood-brain barrier,Neuronal degeneration and neuroplasticity,Axonal transport mechanisms,Synaptic transmission,Action potential,Properties and production of neurotransmitters,Neurotransmitters-I,Neurotransmitters-II.
