| Blueprint ID | Learning Objectives | | 7135 | Contrast the cell-to-cell spread of electrical signal at a chemical synapse with that at a gap junction based on speed and fidelity (success rate). | | 7136 | Describe the process of neurotransmitter release, listing in correct temporal sequence events beginning with the arrival of a wave of depolarization at the pre-synaptic membrane and ending with a post-synaptic response and termination of transmission. | | 7137 | Describe the ionic basis for inhibitory and excitatory post-synaptic potentials, and how this contributes to synaptic integration (summation). | | 7138 | Describe different classes of neurotransmitters, including synthetic pathways, and corresponding receptors. | | 7139 | Describe the receptor types and mechanisms of signal transduction involved during synaptic transmission. Compare ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. | | 7140 | Describe synaptic modulation and plasticity. | | |
| Blueprint ID | Course Goals | | 7023 | Integrate basic and clinical sciences as they relate to common clinical encounters and patient symptoms
