Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

Advances in basic neuroscience research have the potential to lead to understanding, treatment, and even cures for major nervous system disease. This course will provide students with state-of-the-art knowledge about applied neuroscience – the causes and treatment of some major diseases of the central nervous system. There is an emphasis on neuropathologies at all points of the life span – from diseases in infancy such as Phenylketonuria and Tay Sachs disease, to diseases in adulthood such as Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS and forms of demyelination caused by the JC virus, to neurodegenerative diseases of old age such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
