Degrees incorporating this pedagocial element :
Description
The 3h lectures are given by specialists of the field working in Grenoble or in foreign univeristies. They will deal with the following subjects:
- Principle of electrophysiology
- Principle of calcium and voltage membrane potential imaging
- The use of transgenic mice and bi-photon microscopy to monitor the role of glial cells in the brain.
- Ischemia: Glutamate receptors and ischemia
- Of Microtubules and Mitochondria
- Stem cells in the CNS
- Alzheimer’s disease: from the gene down to the synapse
- Huntington and axonal transport
- Htt links Neurodegeneration to CNS development
10h will be dedicated to presentations of scientific articles by students.
Each year, a full day congress will be organized on a particular field, coordinated with other M2 NN modules.
Targeted skills
After this module, the students should be able to:
- Recapitulate the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying learning and memory as well as those compromised in neurodegenerative diseases.
- Apprehend the state-of-the art methods allowing studies of synaptic plasticity both in vitro and in vivo.
- Explain experimental strategies used in a scientific study, analyze and discuss the results.
