Neuroscience
Science behind the nervous system that is responsible for learning, memory, perception & behavior
Curriculum
The course provides a comprehensive overview of cellular and molecular Neuroscience. We introduce core concepts and advances in the field of cognitive, behavioral, computational, and quantitative neuroscience. Recent developments in the field have provided new dimensions to study various aspects of neuroscience. Computational skills are increasingly required to understand the complex biology that can explain vast amounts of data generated via neural signals. We further focus on various neurological and neurodegenerative disorders that affect the brain, nerves, and spinal cord.
