Physiology of neuroscience, focusing on cellular and molecular

mechanisms. Topics include: cellular and subcellular organization of

the nervous system, electrical properties of neurons, ion channels,

synaptic transmission, sensory systems, learning and memory,

neurodegenerative diseases.

PREREQUISITE

Does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent that students should not receive credit for both courses?

If so, this should be

-rQ: Students who have completed BISC 472 under the

title 'Neurobiology'may not complete BISC 405 for further credit.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

RATIONALE

This would facilitate the use of BISC 405 as an elective in the BPK Behavioural Neuroscience

Major as BPK 306 is a required course in this Major whereas BPK 305 is not. BPK 306 is an

appropriate prerequisite as it is an upper level physiology course with neural content.

RATIONALE

The removal of the restriction that only Honours students can take this research project course for credit will

encourage and facilitate Majors students who want to take a more in depth-approach to a research project (beyond

CHEM 481).

The title is also altered accordingly to remove the reference to Honours-only research. In order to

ensure that students take a lecture-based 4th year course, the restriction that CHEM 483 cannot be used to

complete CHEM 400-level unit requirements for the Majors Program has been added (no such restriction for the

Kinesiology Major

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

This bachelor of science (BSc) degree offers students the option of completing

either one of two concentrations, or completing the general program instead.

The two areas of concentration are

active health and rehabilitation kinesiology

ergonomics/human factors

The program is accredited with the Canadian Council of University Physical

Education and Kinesiology Administrators (CCUPEKA).

Please read descriptions of required BPK courses before enrolling in the

program.

Note that students cannot combine a double major, nor a double minor, nor a

major/minor program in the areas of kinesiology, biomedical physiology and

behavioural neuroscience.

Program Requirements

Students complete 120 units, as specified below.

Suggested course selections for majors and any of the two areas of

concentration are available from the general office.

LOWER DIVISION REQUIREMENTS

The program's lower division requirements are structured as a common core set,

an additional set of courses for one of the optional concentrations, and general

elective courses that include the University's breadth requirements.

and an additional two units of upper division units chosen from any discipline

within the University

Students admitted in September 2006 or later are also required to complete the

University's writing, quantitative and breadth (WQB) requirements, which

includes

the requirement of completing three units of writing-intensive credit at

the upper division. The W component may be included within the 45 upper

division unit total for this general program.

Acan be counted toward area of concentration if relevant to active health or

rehabilitation kinesiology. Please see the head of the area of concentration for

permission to count any of

these courses toward the area of concentration

requirement.

Rationale

;

This course has just been introduced by MBB and fills a gap in what has been

available. Biomedical Physiology Major and Honor students are already required

to take the only pre-requisite for this course (MBB 222). The content is

appropriate for Biomedical Physiology Major and Honor students, and is

excellent preparation for future work in several labs within our Department.
