Lecture on Morse Theory(2) Knowledge/skills
to be acquired andlearning
objectives/course
goals

For a smooth function, the point at which the derivative vanishes is called the "critical point". A manifold can be
decomposed into neighborhoods (handles) of critical points of an appropriate function and undersood
combinatorially. Morse theory, which you will learn, is a classical theory of differential topology that has been
applied to a wide variety of problems up to the present day.
As a development of the Morse lemma used in the theory, the following topics are also touched upon: aclassification of degenerate critical points, analytic function, the preparation theorem as a generalization of theimplicit function theorem.

objectives/coursegoals

We study the basic contents of atomic nuclei and hadrons, and gain knowledge of their theoretical andexperimental methods. We learn that the atomic nucleus, which is a microscopic substance that defines anelement at the center of an atom, exhibits various properties by itself, and that the strong force has different
properties than the gravitational and electromagnetic forces that dominate the macroscopic system. We learn the
nucleons (protons and neutrons) that are the constituents of atomic nuclei, the general structure and basic
properties of the strongly interacting particle, hadrons, and the basics of quantum chromodynamics whichgoverns the quarks and gluons (Comprehensive problem thinking ability, logical thinking ability).

be understood in principle by quantum chromodynamics, which is the first principle of the strong interaction, but it
is not so simple by the dual structure of strong force. In this lecture, we explain the physics of the strong
interaction, from the basic properties of atomic nuclei to the structure and properties of hadrons, which are manybody systems of quarks, as well as quark confinement and spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry.

The strong interaction, which is one of the fundamental forces of nature, governs the diverse physics of particles
called hadrons. In particular, various excitations induce resonances in the low energy region, and it is necessary
to understand their structures. In this lecture, we aim to understand the structure of hadron resonances, andintroduce theoretical methods for describing scattering and resonance phenomena from general viewpoints. First,
we introduce the basics of dealing with resonance phenomena based on quantum mechanics, and explain the
scattering theory and theory of Feshbach resonance. We then introduce non-relativistic effective field theories
which are useful for describing actual systems such as hadrons, and the method to discuss the structure ofresonance states through the quantity called compositeness.

Electrochemistry and semiconductor physics have recently become particularly important fundamental disciplines
in the study of physical properties. Carrier injection control using the electric field effect is a fundamental
technique for semiconductor devices, and recently it has been applied to the search for new physical properties
by integrating electrochemical techniques. For example, it is possible to change an insulator to a metallic stateand even induce a superconducting transition. This is based on the precise control of the amount of carriers that
accumulate on the surface of materials by utilizing the solid-liquid interface. In order to properly understand thebackground and apply such field-effects to research on physical properties, this lecture will provide an
explanation of the fundamentals of electrochemistry and semiconductor physics and their application tonanoscale material systems.

In this course, we provide an advanced lecture about “molecular electronic structure theory”, one of the topics in“quantum chemistry”. Particularly, we focused on the practical methods to compute electronic structures (suchthat energy, geometry, and properties of molecules). In recent years, it is able to predict the physical properties
with the extremely high accuracy. On the other hand, it is also applied for large molecular systems such asproteins and nanomaterials, with an appropriate approximation. We will overview these state-of-the-art methods
and their applications, too.
Students will learn advanced and practical knowledge about quantum chemistry and computational chemistrywhich can be applied for own research topics. Students will learn the recent research results in the lecture tocultivate own skills which help to understand computational results and discussions in academic articles and to
apply them for research.
Course schedule is provided as follows.
[01] Derivation of HF energy[02] Derivation of CI energy[03] Exercise using Excel 1[04] Derivation of MP2 energy[05] Exercise using Excel 2[06] Overview on multi-reference methods[07] Density functional theory – Basic idea

2. Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences and Seminar in Biological Sciences will be offered
at respective research laboratories. For the following courses, the subject matter and lecture format consider
graduate students of other majors.
- Special Course in Biological Sciences- Advanced Lecture on Biological Sciences- Special Lecture on Biological Sciences- Special Seminar in Biological Sciences- Special Experiment in Biological Sciences- Special Practice in Biological Sciences- Practice in Biological Sciences (Radioisotope Techniques) Advanced Lecture courses focus on the basic
subject matter at the master's level in each field. Special Lecture courses provide the more specialized andadvanced subject matter in each field. Special Practice courses are offered when there is a particular need.
3. In general, classes start on schedule. However, Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences
courses may be held on an irregular schedule based on the research topic. If a student spends a large amount oftime on activities at off-campus research institutions and field research, the student may be allowed to complete
the course by submitting home assignments and reports. The same can be applied to graduate students who
work full time and have a hard time attending classes. Students who require such arrangements should consult
the graduate/doctoral advisor and the course instructor in advance.
4. Graduate students' off-campus learning activities may be approved as completing the Special Experiment in
Biological Sciences (Experimental Techniques) or Internship in Biological Sciences course after the review of
the Academic Affairs Committee based on the student or graduate/doctoral advisor's request.
5. Registration is required for all courses. Students may retake the same course (lecture, practice, experiment, or
seminar that has the same name) more than once if respective courses provide different subject matter. The
credit hours of both courses will be added.
6. Some of the special lectures on Biological Sciences require the recommendation of the graduate/doctoral
advisor and the approval of the Academic Affairs Committee of the department. It is recommended that students
select the course carefully, considering the specialized field of each student. Read the syllabus of each course
carefully.
7. Note that some credits may be transferred from Ochanomizu University.
8. It is strongly recommended that students take at least one of the following courses:- Biology Course in Planning and Management- Biology Course in International Research Experiences- Biology Course in Research Evaluation- 126 -

1. Biological Sciences offers the following courses:- Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences (2 units)- Seminar in Biological Sciences (2 units)- Special Course in Biological Sciences (1 or 2 units)- Advanced Lecture on Biological Sciences (2 units)- Special Lecture on Biological Sciences (1 unit)- Special Seminar in Biological Sciences (1 unit)- Special Experiment in Biological Sciences (1 unit)- Special Practice in Biological Sciences (2 units)- Practice in Biological Sciences (Radioisotope Techniques; 1 unit)- Internship in Biological Sciences (1 or 2 units)(Master's program)
1. In order to complete the master's program, a total of 30 or more credits are required. Of these credits, 20 ormore credits must be earned in courses other than Seminar in Biological Sciences or Advanced Experimental
Techniques in Biological Sciences offered by the research laboratory where the student belongs.
2. Upon approval of the Academic Affairs Committee of the department, up to 10 credits from graduate courses
outside of Biological Sciences can be considered as credits earned in courses other than Seminar in Biological
Sciences or Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences offered by the research laboratory where
the student belongs mentioned above. Also, upon approval of the graduate advisor and the Academic Affairs
Committee of the department, up to 10 credits from undergraduate courses can be considered as credits earnedin courses other than Seminar in Biological Sciences or Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological
Sciences offered by the research laboratory where the student belongs mentioned above. However, a total of up
to 10 credits are allowed from non-major courses and courses other than Seminar in Biological Sciences orAdvanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences offered by the research laboratory where the student
belongs.
3. In principle, for Seminar in Biological Sciences and Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences,
students shall take only the courses offered in the research laboratory where the student is assigned. We
encourage students to take four or more advanced courses as well as the Special Seminar in Biological Sciences.
4. Since students will need to spend time working on the master's thesis in the second year, we encourage students
to earn about two-thirds of the required credits in the first year.

1. In order to complete the doctoral program, a total of 20 or more credits from doctoral courses are required. We
encourage students to earn eight or more credits from courses other than Seminar in Biological Sciences orAdvanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences offered by the research laboratory where the student
belongs.
2. Students are not allowed to retake the same course that was taken in the master's program.
3. In principle, for Seminar in Biological Sciences and Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences,
students shall take only the courses offered in the research laboratory where the student is assigned as well as
the Special Seminar in Biological Sciences.

1. Molecular ecology and population genetics (Takahashi, 5 classes)
Learn about genetic mechanisms underlying ecological traits and stochastic processes of allele frequencychanges in a population that are essential for understanding evolutionary processes. In particular, theoreticalbackground in population genetics are discussed by introducing previously conducted studies.
2. Genome evolution and bioinformatics (Nozawa, 5 classes)
Genome evolution has been able to connect organismal evolution by rapid advancement in sequencing
technology. Using this advancement, discuss about factors in genome evolution by using old and recent studies.
Students are also expected to utilize the bioinformatics skill learned from this course in their own research topics.
3. Molecular evolution and molecular phylogeny (Tamura, 5 classes)
Understanding how DNA and genomes evolve is crucial to understand organismal evolution. Students are
expected to understand the methods in molecular evolution and molecular phylogenetics to analyze empiricalmolecular sequence data and learn principle underlying the evolution of genes and genomes.

Day 1 to 7 (Noriaki Murakami, Plant Systematics and Evolution)
Species is the most basic unit of systematics and has been considered to be a real unit in nature. However, it isvery difficult to define what a species is. On the other hand, the process by which one species divides into two(speciation) is also considered to be a major process that generates biodiversity and is therefore important froman evolutionary perspective. This course is designed to deepen students' understanding of species andspeciation by reading English review articles on species and speciation.
Day 8 to 15 (Katsuyuki Eguchi, Animal Systematics)
Students will deepen their understanding of the perspectives, thoughts and approaches that have been used toelucidate diversity and evolutionary processes of animals, by reading and introducing articles and literature on
systematics and phylogeography of mainly terrestrial arthropods by themselves.
Students are requested to read articles provided by lecturers or found by themselves and prepare
presentation(s). In addition, it is necessary to deepen their understanding further by reviewing the presentationmaterials again after the lecture.
Students will be also required to submit a report on their presentation.
The lecture will be based on the handouts distributed, and references (articles, books, etc.) will be introduced.

Evaluation will be based on students' performance in the class and the contents of their presentation(s).

(7) Questions to the Office hours are not set, but if you wish to ask a question directly, please make an appointment in advance by einstructor
mail (Murakami: nmurak[at]tmu.ac.jp, Eguchi: antist[at]tmu.ac.jp).
(Office hours, etc.)(8) Special note

Students are not required particularly to take other classes in advance.
Depending on the prevalence of COVID-19, the method of implementation and contents of this class maychange.

In organisms, what kind of individuals do survive and leave offspring in future, avoiding extinction? We follow the
simple calculus (multiplication) and show what is the best optimal strategy. This reveals that the applicability ofthe traditionally widely accepted concept “mean fitness” is limited to very narrow conditions, not applicable to thecommon observations of evolutionary phenomena.

Biology 1: Course in English(1) Course policies
and topics

Many organisms live together in groups, and group-living conveys a wide range of benefits. Coordination ofactions in group-living organisms represents a complex challenge, yet group-living species manage to achieve
remarkable tasks, such as building complex structures, coordinated movements over long distances, andadvanced decision making. Explaining how this is achieved is the focus of complex systems biology.

(2) Knowledge/skills
to be acquired andlearning
objectives/coursegoals

In this course we will explore how individuals in groups can coordinate activities to produce outcomes far
exceeding that which any individual could do alone. In many cases these tasks are achieved with no distinct
leadership or top-down control, but via interactions at the local level, which produce emergent phenomena at thelevel of the group. Studies of collective behavior are important for understanding diverse phenomena such as
movements of human crowds, telecommunication networks, and the development of artificial swarm intelligence.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Our society is aging, and the number of patients with age-associated diseases is growing. Recent studies
revealed that accumulation of misfolded proteins may underlie the pathogenesis of many age-related
neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. We will discuss current understanding of molecularmechanisms underlying these diseases and therapeutic strategies.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONThis module covers a number of clearly identified disease processes from the clinical presentation of the disease
to our understanding of the underlying anatomy, physiology, pathology, and therapies used in human. You will be
introduced to the current thinking regarding the underlying cause of the diseases and how we can use scientifictools from genetics, molecular biology, and pharmacology to develop novel treatments. You will be required tothink across disciplines in their quest to understand the mechanisms of the disease.

First half (Masafumi Nozawa): Mutation is an ultimate source of organismal evolution. Therefore, understandingof molecular and genetic bases of evolution is crucial. In this lecture, the topics on evolution of sex and sex
chromosomes will be extensively introduced. Students are expected to understand how evolution has occurred at
the molecular level in the long run and to feel enthusiasm how researchers have set questions to be solved andhow they have overcome the difficulties during their researches.
Second half (Noriaki Murakami): Speciation are the processes of species diversification. Based on the recent
studies, the various processes of species diversification and the models of speciation are explained. Students are
expected to explain their interesting view points of species and speciation in some specific taxonomic groups.

Special lecture in Neurobiology
Category: Specialized Subjects Credit: 1
Instructor: Adam Weitemier
Subtitle: Neurobiology of the locus coeruleus norepinephrine system［Course Description］
The locus coeruleus (the “blue spot”) is a small nucleus on either side of the vertebrate hindbrain. Its primaryneurotransmitter is norepinephrine (NE). Through extensive neuronal projections, NE output from the locus
coeruleus influences fundamental bodily functions, emotional responses, and cognition. Although the locus
coeruleus NE system is the longest and most well-studied neuronal system, current research continues to makenew discoveries about its role in brain function and behavior.
This course will take a student-interactive approach to explore fundamental and current knowledge about thelocus coeruleus NE system. We will consider current topics and future questions through the lens of recent
studies that are conducted from different biological perspectives.
［Objectives ］
Students taking this course will gain an understanding and perspective on the importance of NE (and related
systems) in physiology and behavior. They will be able to use the knowledge that they gain in this course to guide
future learning about the diversity of brain function.

Course Title: Introduction to Plants Systematics and Taxonomy
Instructor: Diego Tavares Vasques
Evolution is an intriguing phenomenon that rules all biological events. The mechanisms controlling evolution are
many in nature and can be studied under different levels of complexity. In this course, theories of evolutionary
genetics (such as natural selection, adaptation, speciation, and others) will be explored in the context of theevolutionary history of plants. Together, we will explore how changes in the life cycle have influenced theselective pressure plants have been exposed to, how adaptations on nutrition and body structure have emerged
through time and how the reproduction of these eukaryotic organisms has had a deep influence on population
genetics.
By taking this course, you will not only learn basic key-concepts of evolution and plants diversity (important tounderstanding many other subfields in Biology) but also step-up your baggage knowledge, connecting it topractice experiences in this field.

Course Title – Hearing
Instructor: Dr. Ben Warren, University of Leicester, Leicestershire, UK[Course Description]
Our ability to enjoy music, converse with friends and interact with our environment depend on the function on
delicate structures within our ears. The ears of humans and wider mammals is, however, based on a singularlyevolved ear design – the cochlea. Insects provide a wealth of starkly different ear designs, which have evolved
on many different body parts. This intensive two-day course will understand auditory transduction by using a wide
variety of ear types, across animal phyla. This comparative approach to understand hearing is particularly
insightful and fascinating and brings a broad but deep appreciation of how animals hear.
You will learn how ears operate from the mechanical elements that capture sound energy to the microscopic cells
responsible to converting vibrations into electrical signals that we eventually interpret as sound. On Day 1 we willrevise physical properties of sound before learning the basic operation of ears both in mammals and insects. On
Day 2 we delve into the properties arising from sensitive ears such as: phantom oscillations and echoes (socalled otoacoustic emissions), negative stiffness and the cochlear amplifier. We finish by reviewing the arms race
between insects and bats and then how hearing loss effects all biological ears – especially our own.
(2) Knowledge/skills This intensive course will use a combination of live lectures, guided journal clubs and guided independent
to be acquired andresearch. In addition to learning how auditory transduction operates you will be trained in other transferable skills
learningsuch as: how to make engaging presentations, experimental design (power analysis) and how to criticallyobjectives/course
interpret scientific presentations.
goals
Upon completion of the course, students are expected to:a. Understand basic biophysical principles of sound waves and their reception in ears and how sound waves areconverted into movements of sound receivers and then transduced into electrical signals.

11. Spot the mistakes - Presentation skills
12. Experimental design ‒ Power analysis
13. Summary of Lectures
Methods of Instruction:
This course will consist of 10 lectures and 2 guided journal clubs. This combination of learning approaches willallow students to test and refine their knowledge. There is purposely plenty of active engagement with live
lectures, guided journal clubs and interactive presentations. This type of active learning, using a range of different
techniques and resources, will result in a deep and enjoyable learning experience and will allow the students totest their understanding as the course progresses.
(4) Outside-class[Basic Requirement of the Course]
activities andReading of the textbook is absolutely required to familiarize the students with the concepts and ideas. Reading of
assignments
the journal articles is also required, although this is best nearer the start of the course. Although I am notexpecting the students to understand all preliminary reading it will make absorbing and understanding thematerial in the course easier and will maximize the benefit students will get from the course.
