NSC 590. Lab Rotations in Neuroscience

Faculty

Credit: variable

Students consult with their advisory committee to plan rotations. Laboratory rotations are intended to familiarize students with a technique, to gain an appreciation of different scientific approaches to a problem, and to gain pharmacological properties of synaptic receptors; neurotransmitter synthesis and transport; excitatory and inhibitory amino acids; development of the nervous system and genesis of neurons and glia; neurotrophic factors and neuronal migration; axonal path-finding; and plasticity and synaptic rearrangement.
