NEURONAL CELL BIOLOGY IN HEALTH AND DISEASE

NEURODPT/NTP 610

Study of original papers leading to an understanding of the molecular basis of electrical activity in neurons. Topics include voltage-sensitive currents, molecular biology of neuronal receptorrs, synaptic transmission and sensory transduction.

ZOOLOGY 655

Systematically explores current animal models of human diseases that affect the central nervous system. Topics will include birth defects that disrupt normal brain architecture (holoprosencephaly and neural tube closure defects), birth defects affecting the visual system, and postnatal disease, e.g. neurodegeneration and stroke.

NEURODPT 629

Focuses on the cell signaling and the resulting structural changes that occur at neuronal synapses during memory formation. The aim is to understand how the synaptic changes underlying memory occur.

ZOOLOGY 570

Comprehensive course on modern aspects of cell biology.

NEUROL 735

Overview of the major categories of human neurological and opthalmological disease to fundamental topics in neurobiology.
