The Department of Biomedical Sciences aims to provide knowledge of anatomy and physiology in order to understand the mechanisms and treatment of animal diseases. Additionally, it seeks to teach the understanding of drug-action for rational drug-therapy, as well as toxicology, pharmacodynamics, and clinical drug administration.
History
The Department of Biomedical Sciences was formed in 1999 as a merger of the Department of Veterinary Anatomy and the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology.

Abstract
The cerebellar learning hypothesis postulates that the inferior olive provides the cerebellum with a teaching signal that is required for acquisition and maintenance of conditioned eyeblinks. This dissertation addresses the effects of blocking inferior olivary glutamate neurotransmission on acquisition of conditioned responses.
