Study Notes

ANP1106 Neurophysiology is a course taught by Prof. Pierre Fortier at the University of Ottawa.
The course covers various topics related to the organization and function of the nervous system.
Topics include neurons, sensory receptors, sensory systems (taste, smell, hearing, vision, somesthesia), perception, motor systems, neural integration, reflexes, autonomic reflexes, and volition.
The course covers the anatomy and physiology of various structures and processes involved in these topics.
Students will learn about ionotropic receptors, neurotransmitter structure and action, temporal and spatial summation, circuits, and artificial and real neural networks.
They will also learn about the classification of sensory receptors, transduction, intensity coding, adaptation, and sensory pathways.
The course covers the structures and processes involved in hearing and balance, including sound waves, transduction, and the sensory pathway.
Students will also learn about the neuromuscular junction, basic reflex arc, and autonomic reflexes related to homeostasis, temperature control, and sympathetic and parasympathetic effects.
The course covers the role of the cortex in volition, language, working memory, memory formation and consolidation, sleep stages and changes with age, biogenic amines, mood disorders, and emotions.
Finally, students will learn about the links between the limbic system and other systems involved in volition.
