Description

The course will present studies investigating the molecular and cellular analysis of the development of the nervous system, synaptic plasticity, and circuits mediating complex behaviors.

Topics covered will include

  • how neurons are generated,
  • how the brain is patterned,
  • how neurons differentiate,
  • how neurons find their synaptic targets and make their synaptic connections, and
  • what regulates regeneration within the nervous system.

Additionally, the molecular basis of synaptic plasticity and the analysis of neural circuits underlying complex behaviors will be covered. There will be an emphasis on investigations utilizing genetically amenable animals.
