Description:

1129 MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR NEUROSCIENCE COURSE LEADER: Dr. Kamran Khodakhah CREDITS/CLASS MEETINGS: 5 semester hours in the form of three 2 hour meetings per week for a total of approximately 45 presentations. A number of lectures will be devoted to invited speakers from outside the Medical School, and presentations by the students. SUGGESTED BACKGOUND READING: "Principles of Neuroscience" by Kandel and Schwartz and Jessell, and "From Neuron to Brain: A Cellular and Molecular Approach to the Function of the Nervous System"(4th Edition) by A. Robert Martin, Bruce G. Wallace, Paul A. Fuchs, John G. Nicholls SUITABILITY FOR 1ST YEAR STUDENTS: This course is a pre-requisite for the Systems Neuroscience course. Therefore, students interested in Neuroscience are highly encouraged to take this (and ideally the Developmental Neuroscience course) in their first year. COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the nervous system from first principles. The class format consists of a combination of formal and informal lectures and student presentations with a major emphasis on interactive class discussion. This is a very demanding course. The course requires active student participation during the class and offers extensive review sessions if needed.
