NRSC572 - Neurodevelopment in Action: How the brain is built, ages, and responds to disease
Course Description
Neurodevelopment provides a context in which to understand not only the genesis of the nervous system, but also biological functions and the emergence of pathology across the lifespan. The goals of this course are to examine the principles underlying early nervous system development and to learn how such developmental mechanisms extend into adulthood and ageing to maintain tissue homeostasis. Additionally, how the developmental mechanisms relate to disease, especially neurodegenerative diseases, and the function of stem cells during development and neural repair, will be discussed.
