BIO 530 - Neurogenetics

3 credit(s)
This course introduces students to the branch of neuroscience that, more than any other, has undergone the most dramatic transition from bench research to clinical care over the past 10 years. A review of basic genetics is followed by exercises in differentiating genetic conditions from other disorders of the nervous system. The principles taught in BIO 520 are used to identify the specific anatomic levels affected by individual neurogenetic diseases. The challenges of genetic counseling and the prospects for gene therapy are critically examined.
Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing or permission of instructor/department chair.
