The objective of this course is to review current areas of research in the field of neurochemistry. Topics covered will include, neurocellular anatomy, neural membranes, lipids, synaptic function, molecular neurobiology, cellular neurochemistry, neural development, medical neurochemistry, cell adhesion molecules, epilepsy, and the neurochemistry of anxiety disorder. Emphasis is placed on the genetic and biochemical mechanisms of neurological diseases to include brain cancer. This course should be of interest to those planning a career in medicine or biotechnology. Will consist of questions taken from notes, text, and handouts.
Questions can be as short as one word or as long as one paragraph.
There will be no multiple choice-type questions. See instructions to authors in a recent issue of the JNC at O'Neil Library. For the paper, use a minimum of 10 original references with at least 6 from 1995-1999. Original research articles are better than review articles. Every article cited in text should be listed in references and every article listed in the references should be cited in the text.
