Biology of Neurological Diseases will explore the molecular and cellular basis of neurological diseases. We will investigate the biological mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, in addition to Multiple sclerosis and other diseases of the nervous system. We will discuss animal models used to investigate the pathogenesis of these diseases and the biology underlying therapeutic strategies. This seminar course will rely heavily on primary research articles, in-class discussions andstudent-led presentations.

Prereq: Biology 220 and Psych/Neuro 250
