Neuroscience in the 21st Century

Intensively examines medical and technological advances in neuroscience. Students will first develop a deep understanding of the structure and function of the central nervous system, neuronal cell biology and physiology, and neurotransmission. Explores selected CNS disease states and identify mechanisms of neuropathology by biological, environmental, and iatrogenic causes. Advances in technology and nanotechnology is and will continue to transform the treatment of diseases of the nervous system and these issues will be explored by expert guest lecturers.
