Biology 697MN - ST-Modern Methods/Neurobiology

In this advanced course, we will present methods currently used in modern neurobiology research, these will include molecular and cellular to whole organisms approaches. We will cover how the applications of these techniques are used to answer important and outstanding questions in neurobiology using primary research articles. In a culminating group/team project, students will design experiments using the modern experimental techniques learned in the course to test a hypothesis or to expand understanding of a neurobiology process. The project will engage students to use critical thinking and integrative skills required for impactful molecular, cellular and physiological research.
