The Developing Brain

Karolinska Institutet
Basic Neuroscience
About this course

Developmental biology lies at the heart of an effort to understanding complex biological systems. By studying how neural circuits are assembled we can extrapolate key aspects of their function as well as devise strategies for their repair. This course is given to deepen the understanding of how molecular and cellular mechanisms underlie neurobiological function and to widen the horizon of students within the strong Karolinska neuroscience community.

The course is given in collaboration with the Master's Programme in Biomedicine.

This is a full time course given in person at Biomedicum, Campus Solna.
