SCRB 180 - Repair and Regeneration in the Mammalian Brain

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

This course will discuss cellular and molecular mechanisms of regeneration and repair in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). We will: compare and contrast aspects of neural development with adult neural plasticity; discuss limitations to neuronal regeneration in the mature mammalian CNS following degeneration or injury; examine CNS regeneration approaches directed at overcoming intrinsic limitations; and explore developmental controls and gene manipulation to promote neurogenesis, axonal regeneration, and directed differentiation in the diseased adult brain.
