MCDB 422
Brain Development, Plasticity, and Circuits
The course presents mechanisms underlying the development, plasticity and regeneration of the nervous system and function of neural circuits. There is an emphasis on experiments using molecular and cellular approaches in genetically amenable animals. Topics covered include neurogenesis, axon guidance, synapse formation, regeneration and molecular analysis of circuit function.
