Ever wondered where your brain comes from?
This course merges cutting edge developmental biology, neuroscience, and cellular physiology to describe how the nervous system arises and gets "wired up".
The bewildering arrays of cells in the nervous system interconnect in highly specific ways. Here you will learn what dictates neuronal cell fate, how neurons find appropriate partners and how cells communicate to generate behaviour.
In addition to lectures from dynamic researchers and anatomical dissection sessions, this course will hone core skills for basic scientists and medics through group presentation work, independent library research and scientific writing.
