Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
A hallmark of the nervous system is the tremendous morphological, molecular, physiological, and functional diversity of its cells, the neurons and glia. This course will examine how neuronal diversity is assessed experimentally and how this diversity is created during development. Lectures will provide both historical and current perspectives, which students will learn about further by reading and discussing relevant papers. Topics include single cell sequencing techniques, the role of morphogens in patterning the nervous system, intrinsic determinants and gene regulatory network analysis, the influence of activity, and functional maturation.
