Pre-req: PHS 626.

This coures is a basic introductory, survey course covering neurophysiology from sub-cellular level to behavioral level.

A study of mammalian systems including pulmonary, renal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrinological and nervous systems. Emphasis will be placed on homeostatic mechanisms and on experimental approaches to physiology.

A laboratory course in mammalian physiology which includes instruction in surgical preparation, bioinstrumentation technique and open-chest surgery in dogs.

Experience in laboratory instruction of medical and graduate students in the mammalian physiology laboratory.

Detailed examination of changes in EEG, EMG, cardiorespiratory function and ocular motility during sleep.

Pre-req: PHS 629.
