    This document provides information about the BISC 426 - Principles of Neural Development course offered in Spring 2010. It lists the three instructors and introduces developmental neurobiology as the study of brain development across different animal taxa from the molecular to organismal levels. The aim of the course is to introduce students to fundamental aspects of neural and behavioral development, including questions about gene expression, stem cell differentiation, neural circuit wiring, and how genetics and experience shape neural circuits and behavior. Students will learn to evaluate scientific data, think critically, and communicate ideas verbally and in writing. The only prerequisite is BISC 220L/320L.

    BISC 426 - Principles of Neural Development

    Spring 2010

    Instructors:
    Samantha Butler
    Chien-Ping Ko
    Sarah Bottjer

    What is Developmental Neurobiology?


    The science of Developmental Neurobiology encompasses the study
    of brain development across different animal taxa, at all levels of
    analysis from molecular to cellular to organismal.

    The aim of this course is to introduce students to fundamental


    aspects of neural and behavioral development, from molecular to
    organismal levels, including consideration of questions such as:
    • What is the role of differential gene expression in regulation of
    brain development?
    • How do stem cells give rise to neurons with specific cellular
    fates?
    • How does the brain get wired up correctly during development?
    • How do genetics and experience interact to specify neural
    circuits and behavior?
    • How do disorders in developmental processes lead to neural
    defects and disease?

    You will learn to evaluate scientific data and think critically, and to
    express your ideas both verbally and in writing. These are skills that
    will last you a lifetime.

    Pre-requisite: BISC 220L/320L (you do not need to have taken BISC 421)
