NEUR 4840 GLIA IN HEALTH AND DISEASE (3 credits)
While neurons are often highlighted as the primary drivers of brain function, evidence is rapidly growing that a lesser-known class of cells, glia, are intimately involved in virtually all aspects of central nervous system function. This course is designed for students looking for an in-depth discussion on the various glial cells of the central system, with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and the techniques used to study them. Counts as a Block 1 Neuroscience requirement. (Cross-listed with NEUR 8846).
Prerequisite(s): NEUR 1520 or NEUR 1540, or permission of Instructor.
