NENS 67N: Intracellular Trafficking and Neurodegeneration

Preference to freshmen. Cell structures and functions, the intracellular trafficking system that maintains exchanges of materials and information inside cells, and clinical features and pathologies of neurodegenerative diseases. Techniques for examining cellular and subcellular structures, especially cytoskeletons; functional insights generated from structural explorations. Prerequisite: high school biology.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: WAY-SMA
Instructors: Yang, Y. (PI)

NENS 199: Undergraduate Research

Students undertake research sponsored by an individual faculty member. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-18 | Repeatable for credit

NENS 202: Longevity (HUMBIO 149L, PSYCH 102)

Interdisciplinary. Challenges to and solutions for the young from increased human life expectancy: health care, financial markets, families, work, and politics. Guest lectures from engineers, economists, geneticists, and physiologists.
Terms: Win | Units: 4

NENS 204: Stroke Seminar

Standing at the intersection of many fields of medicine, including neurology, internal medicine, cerebrovascualr surgery, diagnostic and interventional radiology, and emergency medicine, as the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability, stroke is a critical topic for all practitioners of medicine. This seminar draws upon Stanford's leaders in stroke research to present and discuss the causes, presentation, treatment, and imaging characteristics of the disease.
Terms: Win | Units: 1 | Repeatable for credit
Instructors: Lansberg, M. (PI)

NENS 206: Introduction to Neurology Seminar

Exploration of aspects of neurology, including subspecialties. Current issues, clinical cases, and opportunities in the field.
Terms: Aut | Units: 1 | Repeatable for credit

NENS 230: Analysis Techniques for Neuroscience Using MATLAB

Data analysis and visualization techniques commonly encountered in neuroscience research. Fundamentals of the MATLAB computing environment, programming and debugging, data import/export, data structures, plotting, simple image processing, introduction to statistical tools. Assumes no programming background. Examples and assignments draw from a range of topics in neuroscience, for example, event detection in patch-clamp recordings, spike-triggered averages, spike rasters and PSTHS, cell counting in flourescence images, regressions, and PCA. Assignments are practical in nature, demonstrating how to implement specific analyses that a neuroscience student is likely to encounter. The skills taught are broadly applicable and a neuroscience background is not necessary.
Terms: Aut | Units: 2

NENS 25SI: Discoveries and Debates in Neuroscience Research

Contradictory results and models in the accelerating field of neuroscience research. Critical examination of controversial topics: the genetic determination of intelligence, the neurobiolobical correlates of consciousness, adult neural stem cell function and therapeutic potential, interpretation of cognitive tests in animals, the origin of brain tumors, the biology of addiction, and gender differences in brain function and disease. How to analyze scientific experiments and models with a critical eye.

NENS 267: Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Disease (BIO 267)

The epidemic of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease occasioned by an aging human population. Genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms. Clinical aspects through case presentations.
Terms: Win | Units: 4

NENS 299: Directed Reading in Neurology and Neurological Science

Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-18 | Repeatable for credit

NENS 370: Medical Scholars Research

Provides an opportunity for student and faculty interaction, as well as academic credit and financial support, to medical students who undertake original research. Enrollment is limited to students with approved projects.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 4-18 | Repeatable for credit
