UE Synaptic Plasticity of the adult nervous system

Diplômes intégrant cet élément pédagogique :

The 3h lectures are given by specialists of the field working in Grenoble or in foreign universities. 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.

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.
