NSUR 70Q: Experimental Stroke

Preference to sophomores. How stroke is studied in the laboratory; advances in stroke research over the last two decades; and future directions. Topics include: cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal death and survival in the brain after stroke, including necrosis, apoptosis, inflammation, and cell signaling pathways; experimental tools for stroke treatment, such as gene therapy, cell therapy, hypothermia, preconditioning, postconditioning, and other pharmacological treatments; the gap and barrier between laboratory research and clinical translation.

NSUR 200: Narratives in Neurosurgery

Introduces medical, non-medical graduate and undergraduate students to careers in neurosurgery. Focuses on a progressive walk through the educational milestones of a neurosurgical career, starting with perspectives of 4th year medical students and working up to day-to-day functions and lifestyles of senior neurosurgical faculty. Additional topics covered include: global health neurosurgery, private practice neurosurgery, and academic neurosurgery.

NSUR 248: Neuroengineering Laboratory (BIOE 248)

Laboratory course exploring the basics of neuroelectrophysiology, neuroengineering, and closed-loop neural decoding. Course will use low-cost electrophysiological amplifying equipment and a real-time recording and computational system to measure neural action potentials from invertebrates, record electromyography from people, and create real-time neural decoders for closed-loop human movement control experiments. Fundamental properties of neurons and systems neuroscience will be experimentally verified. Engineering concepts surrounding neural decoders will be explored. Final project in the course will be a student-conceived in-depth experiment. More information and enrollment instructions are at http://bil.stanford.edu/class.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

NSUR 261: Principles and Practice of Stem Cell Engineering

Quantitative models used to characterize incorporation of new cells into existing tissues emphasizing pluripotent cells such as embryonic and neural stem cells. Molecular methods to control stem cell decisions to self-renew, differentiate, die, or become quiescent. Practical, industrial, and ethical aspects of stem cell technology application. Final projects: team-reviewed grants and business proposals.
Last offered: Autumn 2008 | Units: 3

NSUR 262: 2 Photon Imaging of Neural Circuits

Advances in 2-photon microscopy have allowed unprecedented leaps in understanding the structure and function of neural circuits. This hands-on laboratory based course offers a deep dive about 2-photon microscopy for neuroscience. This course will be structures in such a way that students learn fundamental principles about optics, neuronal morphology, and calcium signaling directly from the experiments we perform in the laboratory and discussions during lectures.
