| Kommentar | No enrolment to this course at ETH Zurich. Book the corresponding module directly at UZH as an incoming student. UZH Module Code: BIO344 Mind the enrolment deadlines at UZH: https://www.uzh.ch/cmsssl/en/studies/application/deadlines.html |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The lecture will cover molecular and cellular processes underlying the development of the nervous system (neurogenesis, cell death, cell migration and differentiation, axon guidance and synapse formation). The importance of these processes in the context of developmental diseases is discussed. |
| Lernziel | On successful completion of the module the student should be able to - relate structure and function of the nervous system to its development - apply principles of molecular, cellular, and developmental biology to the development of the nervous system - identify key steps in development underlying neurological syndromes and diseases Key skills On successful completion of the module the student should be able to - interpret and critically evaluate original research reports - apply knowledge and relate experimental approaches from molecular, cellular and developmental biology to the developing nervous system. |
| Inhalt | The lecture will cover molecular and cellular processes underlying the development of the nervous system. After an introduction to structure and function of the nervous system, we will discuss neurogenesis, cell death, cell migration and differentiation, axon guidance and synapse formation. The importance of these processes in the context of developmental diseases will be discussed. |
