| Abstract | The course covers the development of the nervous system (NS) with a focus on neurogenesis and migration, axon growth, synapse formation, mol. & cell. mechanisms, and diseases of the developing NS. | ||||
| Learning objective | The aim is to give a deepened insight on the normal development, of the nervous system based on molecular, cellular and biochemical approaches. | ||||
| Content | The main focus is on the development of the NS: Early development of the NS, cellular processes, nerve fiber growth, building of synapses and neuronal networks. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Must be downloaded from OLAT: https://www.olat.uzh.ch/olat/dmz/ as BIO344 | ||||
| Literature | The lecture requires reading of book chapters, handouts and original scientific papers. Further information will be given in the individual lectures and are mentioned on OLAT. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Auxiliary tools: None. Bring something to write and your student ID | ||||
