We look at how nerve, muscle and other excitable cells work, a research field pioneered by Cambridge Nobel Laureates. Beginning with electrochemical gradients, we will go on to look at how neurons develop and propagate electrical signals, how synapses work and how sensory receptors transduce environmental cues. This course is designed for those with undergraduate-level science backgrounds. Includes a practical in the Department of Physiology (1.2km, c.15 mins walk).
