IND 101 Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience
This course focuses on cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the development and function of the nervous system in health and disease. This includes aspects of gene expression, cell biology and physiology as they pertain to neurons and glia. Lectures supplemented by in-class discussion of primary research articles will also serve as an introduction to microscopic, electrophysiological, molecular and genetic approaches as well as animal models used to study the nervous system and neurological disorders. This course is open to all IND students. Graduate students from other program must have previously taken courses in genetics and cell biology.
