Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course is sub-divided into 3 parts:
- Neuroanatomy (Franzen Rachelle)
In neuro-anatomy classes, we study the different anatomical structures that make up the central nervous system. How do these structures interact with each other to ensure motor, sensory and vegetative functions?
The course is divided into different chapters:
- Brain (telencephalon and diencephalon) and its protections (bones and meninges, CSF)
- Brain stem and cranial nerves
- Cerebellum
- Spinal cord
- Vegetative nervous system
- Sensory pathways
- Motor pathways
- Higher functions (memory, language)
- Cellular and molecular neurobiology (Lombard Arnaud):
- Neurons, synapses
- Astrocytes
- Myelin and myelination
Methods used to record the activity of ion channels, with an emphasis on the configurations of the patch clamp technique.
Biophysical properties of ion channels: illustration by a few examples
