Description:

Peter Sterling. This course presents brain structure on all levels from gross morphology to microcircuity to synaptic architecture. It is a lab course which emphasizes learning to find your way around the brain using maps at various levels of resolution. We emphasize learning to "read" the structures and learning the modern methods of studying functional neural architecture. This includes, methods for tracing pathways and identifying chemical architecture. Also, advanced methods of light microscopy will be covered including flourescence, video-DIC, confocal.
