PSL1446H: Molecular and Celluar Aspects of Neural Disorders

Are you fascinated by the intricate workings of the brain and curious about what happens when neural systems fail? This course offers an in-depth exploration of the cellular, molecular, and circuit-level mechanisms that underlie neurological disease. Designed for graduate students and senior undergraduate students interested in neurophysiology, this advanced course examines how disruptions in fundamental biological processes — such as protein homeostasis, synaptic signaling, immune activation, and gene regulation — can give rise to complex neural disorders. Through lectures delivered by leading researchers and clinician-scientists, students will explore how discoveries in basic neuroscience are shaping new approaches to understanding and treating neurological disease.
