BME 7380/BMS 7380: From Neurons to behaviour - in health and disease

This is an interdisciplinary course covering areas in Neuroscience, Electrical, and Biomedical Engineering. The course presents the stretch reflex as an example of a neural circuit and how it mediates movement. The course will discuss the neuronal components that form the stretch reflex circuit and how electrical signals are generated and processed in this circuit under normal and pathological conditions. The lectures are complemented by computer lab exercises aimed at testing the concepts discussed in the lectures.
