NEUROBIOLOGY: BRAIN DEVELOPMENT & FUNCTION
July 14 - 27, 1996
Invited Speakers: Last years lectures were given by Bill Bialek, Dale Bredesen, Don Cleveland, Allison Doupe, Jim Hudspeth, Reinhard Jahn, David Kaplan, Larry Katz, Robert Malinow, Gary Matthews, Mark Mayford, Markus Meister, Tony Movshon, Dan Ts'O, Louis Reichardt, Jim Rothman, John Rubenstein, Terry Sejnowski, Tom Schwarz, Matthew Wilson, and Charles Zuker.
Program:
This lecture course will present both concepts and currently exciting research problems in neurobiology. It will focus on the methods now used to study the development and function of the nervous system. Topics covered will include gene expression, cell proliferation and tumor formation, neural induction, stem cells and lineage, neurite outgrowth, synaptic biochemistry and physiology, positional information and maps, learning, sensory transduction and coding, transplantation, transgenic mice and behavior. The advantages of different experimental systems from C.elegans to primates will be discussed. The main purpose of this course is to provide many opportunities to discuss this rapidly expanding field with invited lecturers. The lectures will provide a general introduction as well as a detailed analysis of current research for each topic. Individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience are encouraged to apply.
