NEURO 101: Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience
This course covers introductory lectures to the anatomy of the central nervous system, basic principles of development, the physiology of neurons, neurophysiology, neuronal circuits, cell structure and cell-cell communication, signal transduction and metabolism of the nervous system.
NEURO 102: Systemic Neuroscience
This course covers the organization and neuronal circuits of various systems such as vision, motor, oculomotor, audition, chemosensory, spinal motor systems, neuromuscular junction, mesolimbic system. Also taught is the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease, memory disorders (Alzheimer’s disease, tauropathies).
NEURO 104: Developmental Neurobiology
NEURO 103: Principles and methods used for the study of the Nervous System
The Methodology in Neuroscience course aims to familiarize the graduate students with the experimental approaches used in the study of the nervous system. In addition, it aims to make them familiar with the terminology used in neuroscience publications. The methods taught cover a large spectrum of approaches starting from the molecular analysis of genes important in the nervous system to modern drug design. The course focuses on the understanding of the basic principles underlying the relevant methodologies that are taught.
