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. 

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
