This course uses a neuroscience approach to study disorders of the brain. It reviews basic concepts in neuroscience and provides an overview of functional neuroanatomy. This knowledge is then applied to examine the cellular and molecular underpinnings of various abnormalities of the nervous system.
Discussions emphasize the relationship between basic neuroscience and physiological psychology.
The course is developed and taught by a team of advanced Ph.D. students in the IPN, who are eager to share their work and their excitement about neuroscience with undergraduate students in the College. This is a unique opportunity to learn about various brain disorders from eager young scientists. It was offered for the first time in the fall of 2000, and the plan is to continue to offer it every fall. Professor Agnew ICOS-324. Today, we know that neuronal cells are much more complex but the guiding principles remain applicable.
