This course consists of a weekly meeting, which includes a lecture on a topic by the Instructor and a student-led discussion. The major readings are current journal articles and reviews. Students will prepare oral presentations on the assigned readings, lead discussions and write a grant proposal on their topic. Prior to each meeting, the presenters must meet with the Instructor to review and practice their presentation. The course will include a selection of current studies that clearly illustrate the biochemical and genetic causes of cell death and how it relates to development or disease of the nervous system. Topics range across model systems and different CNS regions. The relevance of basic research on cell death to understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases is also discussed. |
