Course Description
The topic for Fall, 2010 will be the “Genetic Basis for Brain Diseases” and will be an integrated approach to understanding inherited brain diseases. This course will explore 1) methods for identifying genes that predispose individuals to brain diseases, 2) characterization of genes that have been identified, 3) how identification of these genes contributes to our understanding of underlying disease mechanisms, development of treatment strategies and improvement of clinical care. Diseases that will be discussed are cerebrovascular diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumors.
This course is open to graduate students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows.
