Neurobiology and Disease (NBI 361)

This is a new course for graduate students and clinical trainees. Diseases to be covered currently include: ALS, Alzheimer's, CNS neoplasms, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, retinitis pigmentosa, and stroke. The idea will be to describe the key features of the disease, current insight into etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms of the disease, models available and the evidence (if any) establishing the validity of the models, therapies available and envisioned. This course will be offered again in the 05/06 academic year.
