-
3.00 - 5.00 Credits
The objective of this course is to meet individual student needs for increased knowledge in particular areas of gross human morphology. Investigations of problems involving gross morphology will be carried out. One or several defined areas of the body will be studied in considerable detail by dissection, by intensive use of the pertinent literature, by the use of visual aids, prosected materials and other appropriate learning aids. Prereq: A background in gross human anatomy equivalent to a medical school course in regional anatomy and consent of course director and/or Director of Graduate Studies in Anatomy and Neurobiology.
-
2.00 - 5.00 Credits
This is a detailed study of intra-uterine development, both normal and abnormal, usually arranged as a tutorial or small seminar series. Enrollment limited to 10 students. Prereq: ANA 511 or 811 and ANA 513 or their equivalents; or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 - 5.00 Credits
The objectives include specific and detailed correlation of microscopic and ultrastructural morphology of structures in the nervous system with function of these structures. Emphasis will be placed on structure-function relationships, neurotransmitters, chemical constituents of the nervous system, neuronal as well as non-neuronal cells, plasticity of the nervous system and developmental biology. The detailed content and emphasis will depend on both the background and goals of the students. Depending on number of credits a student registers for, and the topic and course orientation, laboratory work, library work, written and/or oral presentations may be a course requirement. Prereq: ANA 511, 512, 513, 516, or equivalents, or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
An explanation of the processes which contribute to the development of the nervous system. Neurophysiological, cell biological and molecular approaches to cell differentiation, neuronal pathfinding and synapse formation and stabilization will be explored and discussed. Examples will be drawn from both vertebrate and invertebrate preparations. Prereq: BIO 535 or consent of instructor. (Same as BIO/PGY/PSY 638.)
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced study of current topics in reproductive biology. The course is comprised equally of student-led discussions and lectures given by faculty with research expertise in selected topics. Readings will be taken from current and classic literature. Topics covered include (but are not limited to) molecular and cellular endocrinology, hormone receptors and mechanism of action, reproductive neuroendocrinology, reproductive behavior, gametogenesis, fertilization, sexual differentiation, puberty, menopause and environmental effects on reproduction. Emphasis will be placed on the analysis and understanding of the experimental basis for current concepts in reproductive biology. Prereq: ASC/PGY 601 and ASC 364 or BIO/PGY 502 or consent of instructor. (Same as ASC 660 and PGY 660).
-
2.00 - 5.00 Credits
The objectives of this course are to advance the students' knowledge of the submicroscopic structure of cells and tissues. Correlation of intra- and extracellular morphology and function will be emphasized. Students will do detailed laboratory work in the techniques of electron microscopy. Depending on the number of credits a student registers for, and the topic and course orientation, laboratory work, library work, written and/or oral presentations may be a course requirement. Prereq: ANA 512, previous work in microscopy including histology or cytology, or equivalents, and consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will examine the alterations in the brain that occur with aging and in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The emphasis will be on human aging although the relevance of animal models to studies of human aging will be a recurrent theme. The course will examine aging at several levels, including molecular, cellular, organismic, and behavioral. Prereq: GRN 620. A strong background in the basic sciences. (Same as GRN/PGY/PHA 710.)
-
0.00 Credits
Half-time to full-time work on thesis. May be repeated to a maximum of six semesters. Prereq: All course work toward the degree must be completed.
-
0.00 Credits
Half-time to full-time work on dissertation. May be repeated to a maximum of six semesters. Prereq: Registration for two full-time semesters of 769 residence credit following the successful completion of the qualifying exams.
-
2.00 Credits
Residency credit for dissertation research after the qualifying examination. Students may register for this course in the semester of the qualifying examination. A minimum of two semesters are required as well as continuous enrollment (Fall and Spring) until the dissertation is completed and defended.
