Overview of relevant aspects of Genetics and Neuroscience, including genomic approaches for gene discovery for human disorders and key properties of brain cells and circuit development. Bioinformatic approaches for analyzing genome-scale data sets. Critical consideration of experimental design and analysis strategies through reading and discussion of primary research literature and the development of an original research proposal. Emphasis will be placed upon how to effectively communicate science (written and oral). ### requirements text GENETICS 466,468,BIOCORE 383,PSYCH/​ZOOLOGY  523, or graduate/professional standing ###
