Nervous System Injury and Repair

Karolinska Institutet
Empirical & clinical neuroscience
About this course

This course will provide curious students with an overview of the field of nervous system injury and possibilities for repair. We will focus on the cellular pathobiology but have a translational outlook and integrate the clinical perspective. The student will after the course know the basic concepts and recognise relevant research questions in the field. Hence, the student have aquired up to date information and understanding of the problems and possibilities for repairing an injured central or peripheral nervous system. 

Learning outcomes

In the context of nervous system injuries, the student should be able to:

  • Outline the consequences to neural networks and pathobiology, as well as consider variations across species
  • Recommend experimental models and methods to study both injury and repair
  • Justify repair/treatment strategies and diagnostic methods
  • Identify potential hurdles in translation of various treatment strategies
Prerequisites for participation

Basic Neuroscience course or corresponding knowledge. The basic neuroscience course should include neuroanatomy, CNS cell-types and their functions, and some CNS injury/disorders.
