Neuroscience & Behavior 330 - Biology of Neuro Diseases

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 disease. We will focus on animal models used to investigate pathogenic mechanisms and the biology underlying therapeutic strategies. This class will rely heavily on primary research articles and in-class discussions.

Prereq: Biological Sciences 210, Biological Sciences 220 and Psychology 250 or Neuroscience 100.
