課程重點
課程描述
本課程旨在探討神經元的特定功能、發育過程中神經元的相互作用和引發行爲的神經元集合的組織狀態。涵蓋的主題包括突變的分析和神經系統發揮功能所需基因的分子分析。本課程尤其側重以綫蟲、果蠅、小鼠和人類爲實驗對象的研究工作。
This course deals with the specific functions of neurons, the interactions of neurons in development, and the organization of neuronal ensembles to produce behavior. Topics covered include the analysis of mutations, and molecular analysis of the genes required for nervous system function. In particular, this course focuses on research work done with nematodes, fruit flies, mice, and humans.
