Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the students;

  1. Be able to explain general charecteristics and components of nervous system
  2. Be able to explain the structural and functional features of the nervous systems
  3. Be able to define the genetic abnormalities that play roles in the nervous system disorders
  4. Be able to explain the neurodegenerative disorders and related mechanisms
Mode of DeliveryFace to face
PrerequisitesNo
Recommended Optional Programme ComponentsNone
Course DescriptionThe students are expected to learn the molecular mechanisms regulating neuronal networks, to get familiar with neuronal cell types and understand the physiological and genetic basis of the neuronal system. Additionally, they?re expected to understand the pathological and genetic basis of neuronal loss accompanying neurodegenerative disorders.
