Biology Curses

  • Theoretical and practical foundation in the area of cellular and molecular neurobiology, including genetics, as well as electrophysiological principles of neural cells, synaptic transmission, and neurodevelopment culminating in aging and neurodegenerative disorders.
  • This course will introduce students to the field of Molecular and Cellular Cognition (MCC). MCC is a
    relatively young field with the goal of deriving explanations of cognitive processes that
    integrate molecular, cellular, and behavioral mechanisms and to find
    treatments for cognitive disorders. MCC studies focus on molecular
    (ie. receptor, kinase activation), intra-cellular (i.e. dendritic
    processes), and inter-cellular processes (i.e. synaptic plasticity;
    network representations such as place fields) that modulate animal models of
    cognitive function.

  • Estudio de los principios y conceptos básicos que operan en los organismos vivos y sus unidades constituyentes.
