Neural Disease, Degeneration, and Regeneration
This course offers an overview of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying common neurodegenerative disorders. Mechanisms of neuronal cell death and application of stem cells in CNS regeneration will also be covered. Students will learn by reading assigned background materials and research articles, and participating in class discussions.
Prerequisites: BIOL 251, BIOL 282, NEUR 101.
Outcomes: Students will understand current advances of genetic, developmental, molecular, and cellular mechanisms underlying the neurodegenerative diseases; Students will also learn how disease mechanisms affect neural function, cognition, and behavior.
