Course Details
• Molecular Basis of Neurogenetics – This unit covers the fundamental molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression in the nervous system, including epigenetic modifications and transcriptional regulation.
• Neural Development & Differentiation – This unit explores the processes of neural development, including neurogenesis, gliogenesis, and neuronal differentiation, and how genetic mutations can lead to developmental disorders.
• Synaptic Plasticity & Neurotransmission – This unit examines the molecular mechanisms that underlie synaptic plasticity and neurotransmission, including the role of ion channels, neurotransmitters, and receptors in neural communication.
• Neural Circuits & Behavior – This unit explores how neural circuits give rise to complex behaviors, including learning, memory, and emotion, and how genetic mutations can alter these circuits and lead to neuropsychiatric disorders.
• Neurodegenerative Disorders – This unit covers the genetic and molecular basis of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, and current therapeutic strategies.
• Brain Plasticity & Rehabilitation – This unit examines the role of brain plasticity in neural rehabilitation, including the use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to promote recovery from stroke and other neurological injuries.
• Genetics of Intelligence & Cognition – This unit explores the genetic basis of intelligence and cognition, including the role of genetics in cognitive decline in aging and neurodevelopmental disorders.
• Genomics & Big Data in Neurogenetics – This unit covers the latest advances in genomics and big data analysis in neurogenetics, including the use of next-generation sequencing and machine learning algorithms to identify novel genetic variants associated with neurological disorders.
• Ethical & Social Implications of Neurogenetics – This unit examines the ethical and social implications of advances in neurogenetics, including issues related to genetic privacy, discrimination, and enhancement.
