Neurotechnology: Molecular Tools and Methods for Neurobiology

Catalog description

New tools are transforming Neurobiology, both in the way experiments are being done and the questions they are addressing. New methods of observation and analysis are enhancing our understanding of the complex workings of the brain. This course is unique in helping students become critical thinkers about choosing the right toolset for different neuroscience questions at both the systems and molecular levels. We will also examine how new molecular tools are developed and evolve to address fundamental questions about how our brain. In many ways, neurotechnology, new methods, and molecular tools open the way for new discoveries in neuroscience. Course is geared towards neuroscience, biomedical engineering, biology and others.
