Course Details
• Molecular Basis of Cellular Neuroscience: This unit covers the fundamental molecular processes that underpin cellular neuroscience, including membrane transport, receptor mechanisms, and intracellular signaling pathways.
• Neural Systems and Circuits: This unit explores the organization and function of neural circuits, including sensory systems, motor systems, and higher-order cognitive networks.
• Neurophysiology: This unit delves into the electrical properties of nerve cells and synapses, including action potentials, neurotransmitter release, and neuromodulation.
• Neuroanatomy: This unit provides an in-depth examination of the anatomy of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
• Neuroimaging and Neurotechnology: This unit covers the latest advances in neuroimaging techniques, such as fMRI, PET, and EEG, as well as emerging neurotechnologies, such as optogenetics and neural prosthetics.
• Neurodevelopment and Neurodegeneration: This unit explores the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism and intellectual disability, as well as neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
• Cellular Neuroplasticity and Regeneration: This unit examines the mechanisms of neuronal plasticity and regeneration, including synaptic plasticity, neural stem cells, and gene therapy.
• Experimental Approaches in Cellular Neuroscience: This unit provides hands-on training in a range of experimental techniques commonly used in cellular neuroscience research, such as patch-clamp electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and immunohistochemistry.
