Course Details
• Comparative Neuroanatomy: An in-depth examination of the nervous systems in various species, focusing on structural and functional similarities and differences.
• Neurophysiology: The study of the electrical properties and signaling mechanisms within neurons and between neurons in different animal models.
• Molecular Neurobiology: Exploration of the molecular mechanisms that underlie neural function, including gene expression, protein synthesis, and intracellular signaling pathways.
• Behavioral Neuroscience: Analysis of the neural basis of behavior across different animal models, emphasizing comparative approaches and evolutionary perspectives.
• Comparative Neuroimaging: Examination of neuroimaging techniques, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and electroencephalography (EEG), in various species to understand functional organization and specialization in the brain.
• Evolution of Neural Systems: A survey of the evolutionary history of neural systems, including major transitions and innovations, as well as the role of neural plasticity in adaptation and evolution.
• Neuroethology: The study of the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying specific behaviors in animals, including sensory processing, motor control, and communication.
• Neuropharmacology: Investigation of the effects of drugs and chemicals on neural function across different animal models, with a focus on comparative approaches and evolutionary perspectives.
• Comparative Pain Mechanisms: Examination of the neural mechanisms underlying pain perception and modulation in different animal models, including the evolution of pain systems and the implications for pain management in humans.
