Episode 38: Neurons and Synapses

Beginning with primitive Cynodonts in the late Permian, we our evolutionary development through Mesozoic mammaliaforms, the divergence of monotremes from marsupials and placentals, and culiminating in the emergence of primates in the early Cenozoic. Along the way we discuss the e ...  Show more

A survey of extinct animal species from the Permian through the Cretaceous periods. We discuss important differences between anapsids, synapsids, and diapsids, and then review diverse species from all groups, including pelycosaurs, therapsids, parareptiles, euryapsids, pterosaurs ...  Show more

Nervous system organization & function. Neuroanatomy. action potential process, neurotransmitters & neurotransmission. Psychophysiology lab: muscle unit recruitment. 

In this episode, I introduce you to the human brain and discuss the global structure of the central nervous system, cognitive functions such as memory and attention, and the neuron at the microscopic level. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. 

In this episode, Dr Matt and Dr Mike discuss how the nervous system allows us to walk, talk, smell, taste, hear, and feel!

This episode is about the electrical and chemical signals that the body sends called action potentials!

For a video on this topic we suggest ...

In this lecture, we will briefly explore the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, including its structure, function, and the different types of cells that make up this system.
