Overview and analysis of mechanisms underlying neural processing at cellular and systems levels in mammalian central nervous systems. Topics span a broad range, from ion flow at membranes to functional subsystem-level analysis. Topics to be covered may include parallel processing of visual/somatic sensory data, reflex response organisation in motor pathways, integration of movement, synaptic plasticity in neuro-recovery, trace amine modulation of synaptic transmission.
