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.
Terms: Win | Units: 1
Instructors: Duane, D. (PI)

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.

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

NENS 206: Introduction to Neurology Seminar

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

NENS 220: Computational Neuroscience

Computational approaches to neuroscience applied at levels ranging from neurons to networks. Addresses two central questions of neural computation : 1) How do neurons compute? and 2) How do networks of neurons encode/decode and store information? Focus on biophysical (Hodgkin-Huxley) models of neurons and circuits, with emphasis on application of commonly available modeling tools (NEURON, MATLAB) to issues of neuronal and network excitability. Addresses issues relevant to neural encoding & decoding, information theory, plasticity and learning. Lectures introduce fundamental concepts of neuronal computation; discussion groups focus on relevant literature examples of proper application of these techniques. Final project. Recommended for Neuroscience Program graduate students; open to graduate, medical, and advanced undergraduate students (with consent of instructor). Prerequisite: Neurobiology 206 and facility with linear algebra and calculus recommended.
Terms: Win | Units: 4

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