Biology 573 - Sensory Neurobiology

This course covers the anatomy and physiology of the five primary senses: vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. We will introduce general concepts of sensory signal processing, elaborate the molecular and cellular basis of all the five senses, and discuss integration of different senses at the organism level. We will focus on the normal functions of vertebrate sensory systems and we will discuss examples of genetic diseases that affect sensory functions.
