Course content
The subject of the academic discipline is the process of synaptic transmission in the brain; glutamate GABA-ergic neurotransmission; the role of the structural organization of the membrane and lipid-protein interactions in the regulation of the process of nerve impulse transmission; the role of presynaptic receptors in the regulation of key stages of the neurotransmission process and path determination modulation of the neurotransmitter reception system; molecular mechanisms of membranotropic action and neuroactive drugs; a potential peripheral marker for the analysis of disorders transport of neurotransmitters in the brain; environmental neurotoxicology; nanoneurotoxicology.
