Rutgers describes 01:146:445 as an advanced three-credit course on cellular and systems neuroscience that examines selected topics in neuronal communication and asks how to test hypotheses about them. The department page names neuronal networks, synaptic protein interactions, signal pathways and circuit plasticity; its linked sample syllabus is explicitly Fall 2024, so it does not establish Fall 2026 section practices.

AI-generated overview
3 units · topic sequence may vary by instructor
The Fall 2024 sample groups neuronal excitability, ion channels, action potentials, synaptic transmission, plasticity and learning/memory in its first module.
The Fall 2024 sample then covers neuronal communication, neurotransmitters, postsynaptic density, protein-interaction domains and signal transduction.
Its final module addresses in-vivo circuit methods, attention, motor planning, inhibitory interneurons, astrocytes and disease. Historical sample sequence.
