Sculpting Activity: Neural Inhibition in Health and Disease
NEURO 101V
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
Although the vast majority of neurons in the mammalian brain are excitatory, inhibitory neurons working via GABA inhibition shape excitability to play crucial roles in normal brain function. Consequently, GABAergic dysfunction features prominently in various neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. This course explores molecular, cellular, neural circuit and behavioral mechanisms underlying brain disorders along with treatment strategies targeting this essential synapse.
