NEURO 300E - Neurogenetics

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Description:

Ever wonder how much genes affect happiness or major depression? Neurogenetics is at the forefront of neuroscience, using the tools of molecular genetics and genomics to understand the influence of genes on both normal behavior and neurobehavioral disorders. Our emphasis in this class will be on the methods used in human population and family studies at the genome wide level and how they are applied to complex human behavioral phenotypes. We will also develop an understanding of the statistical analysis of neurogenetics data and how mechanistic studies in animals complement the work in humans.
