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.
