Neuroscience

Building on the NESC 8000 Foundations of Neuroscience course, this course expands on the Molecular Neuroscience (Molecular, Cellular & Development track), while also providing a deep dive in Cellular Neurophysiology (Synapses & Circuits track). Recognizing that modern neuroscience projects necessitate fluency in the concepts and methods in both fields, NESC 9010 and 9020 will be held jointly this term.

We plan to make this a practical course to show the methods needed to dissect systems and circuits including detailed methods, pitfalls of various techniques, troubleshooting and "insider" tips. We may even have some "field trips" to our labs to see the techniques in action!

For doctoral research, taken before a dissertation director has been selected.
