Neuroscience I

This course is the first in a two-course sequence designed to provide a uniform foundation for students engaged in graduate work in the Neurosciences. Its focus is on the molecular, cellular, and developmental aspects of neural function. The course is often team-taught, and in addition to a standard textbook, utilizes a variety of readings, problem sets and research presentations designed to introduce students to the methods and data of contemporary neuroscience research. Some background in genetics and molecular biology is highly desirable. An emphasis on interdisciplinary work, which is characteristic of contemporary neuroscience, is an important feature of the course.
