Neurophysiology is the branch of physiology dealing with the functions of the nervous system. ie The study of the functional properties of neurons, glial cells, and their networks.
There are different topics to study in Neurophysiology,
which are…
Introduction to Neurophysiology
- Neuron
- Neuroglia
- Classification of nerves
- Nerve injury & Wallerian degeneration
- Properties of nerves
- Resting Membrane Potential
Nerve Muscle Physiology
- Muscle – Skeletal, Smooth & Cardiac
- Membrane Potential & Action Potential
- Motor unit
- Neuro-muscular Junction, transmission & Blockers
Synapse
- Synaptic transmission, excitation, inhibitition
Sensory System
- Dermatomes, Innervation, Types of somatic sensations, Sensory pathways, Receptors, Pain
Motor System
- Pyramidal system, Extrapyramidal system
Autonomic Nervous System
- Divisions, Chemical Transmission, Functions, Higher centres for regulation, Sympathetic nervous system & Parasympathetic nervous system formation
Vision
- Physiology of vision – Optic pathway
Hearing
- Physiology of hearing – Auditory pathway
Other important topics
- Cerebellum
- Neurotransmitters
- Basal ganglia
- CSF, LP
- Learning & Memory
