PHYSIOLOGY (PHS)
628 Mammalian Neurophysiology (2 hrs.)
An introductory survey course covering nervous system function from the sub-cellular level to the behavioral level. (PR: Consent of instructor)
629 Mammalian Physiology (6 hrs.)
A study of mammalian systems including pulmonary, renal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and endocrinological. Emphasis will be placed on homeostatic mechanisms and experimental approaches to physiology. (PR: Consent of instructor)
630 Experimental Physiology (1 hr.)
Asurgical preparation, laboratory course in mammalian physiology, which includes instruction in bioinstrumentation technique and open-chest surgery in dogs. (PR: PHS 629 and consent of instructor)
631 Physiology Practicum (2 hrs.)
Experience in laboratory instruction of medical and graduate students in the mammalian physiology laboratory. (PR: PHS 630 and consent of instructor)
632 Physiology of Sleep (1 hr.)
Detailed examination of changes in EEG, EMG, cardiorespiratory function and ocular motility during sleep. (PR: PHS 628 and 629)
634 Advanced Neurophysiology (1-2 hrs.)
A study of recent advances in cellular and systems neurophysiology. Topics may include: ion channel structure and function, synaptic physiology, neural modeling, local circuit interactions, and neural function during a variety of complex, whole animal behaviors (such as learning and memory, and sleep). (PR: PHS 628)
638 Advanced Cardiovascular Physiology (1-2 hrs.)
A study of systemic cardiovascular function with emphasis on cellular the mechanisms underlying these functions. (PR: Consent of instructor)
