Please note that some courses may be offered alternating years. Neuroscience Institute courses (NUIN) may be offered on the Chicago campus. A free shuttle runs between the Evanston and Chicago campuses.
NUIN-455
Instrumentation for Neuroscience NUIN-462 Cortical Circuit Organization This course is designed for advanced neuroscience students to learn about cortical and subcortical circuits at the synaptic, cellular, and network levels. The course will focus on the structure and function of neocortical circuits, emphasizing sensorimotor systems in rodents but including circuits in a variety of sensory and motor areas, subcortical pathways representing major cortical inputs (e.g. corticocortical, thalamocortical) and outputs (e.g. corticospinal, corticostriatal). Students will give presentations focusing on specific circuits. The course will be based on primary articles and reviews, and a mix of lectures and student-led presentations. BIOL SCI-303 Molecular Neurobiology Our brains contain a quadrillion synapses, remarkable molecular machines that mediate the cell signaling from which thought and behavior ultimately emerge. This advanced course focuses on the physiological mechanisms of synaptic signal transduction and the pathologies that give rise to neurological disease.
