This online course provides an advanced introduction to the cellular and molecular foundations of neuroscience, emphasizing the biological mechanisms underlying neuronal structure, function, and communication. Students explore neuronal cell biology, molecular signaling, and neurochemistry to understand how brain systems influence behavior and mental health. Topics include neuronal electrophysiology, neurotransmitter systems, and the molecular basis of neuroplasticity. The course prepares students for advanced study in psychopharmacology and fulfills prerequisite requirements for Idaho State University’s Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology (MSCP) program.
