• ZOO 4295: Neurodevelopment

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Through lecture and discussion of research articles, students learn mechanisms of nervous system development, from the birth and differentiation of neurons to the formation of synapses and circuits. Focus is on classical experiments done in vertebrates (Xenopus tadpole, chick, zebrafish, and mouse) and invertebrates (nematode and drosophila). Prerequisite: ZOO 4280, or graduate standing.
