Cell Biology of the Neuron

1 credits · Graduate

How the brain is wired during development is a fundamental question of neurobiology. In this module we will discuss the molecular mechanisms that sculpt brain patterning and axon guidance, we will discuss the regulation of neurogenesis, we will cover how the synapse is formed, and we will talk about how sensory information guides the development of the brain in early postnatal life.
