MCB 01481Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience

Catalog

This lecture course will cover the major issues of cellular neurosciences, including molecular and cellular events underlying neutral signaling, synaptic transmission, neuronal development and migration, and neuronal plasticity will be discussed. Topics include the cellular structure of neurons and glia, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, molecular bases of neuronal transmission and memory, and the genetics of behavior. Special attention will be paid to current issues such as stem cell transplantation, neuronal regeneration of the central nervous system, neurological disorders, and animal models being used in these areas.
