This subject will be an intensive introduction to neuroanatomy, involving lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on laboratories, including a brain dissection. The course will not assume any prior knowledge of neuroanatomy, though some general knowledge of brain structures will be helpful.

This lesson describes the function and components of the human nervous system. It helps students understand the purpose of our brain, spinal cord, nerves and the five senses. How the nervous system is affected during spaceflight is also discussed in this lesson.

Systems Neuroscience Laboratory consists of a series of laboratories designed to give students experience with basic techniques for conducting systems neuroscience research. It includes sessions on anatomical, neurophysiological, and data acquisition and analysis techniques, and the ways these techniques are used to study nervous system function. Training is provided in the art of scientific writing with feedback designed to improve writing skills. Assignments include weekly preparation for lab sessions, two major research reports and a series of basic computer programming tutorials (MATLAB). The class involves the use of experimental animals. Enrollment is limited.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Nerves, and the signals that modulate them, play critical roles during wound healing. CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) is one such modulator and is a potential treatment target for chronic wounds, like ulcers. But CGRP doesn’t last long in blood samples, so researchers recently focused on RAMP1 (receptor activity-modifying protein 1), which is part of the CGRP receptor. First, in mouse experiments, they determined that RAMP1 expression was altered during skin wound healing. Then, they used mouse skin fibroblasts (MSFs) to determine the mechanisms at play. Overexpressing RAMP1 in MSFs promoted proliferation by increasing expression of YAP (Yes-associated protein). Subsequent experiments showed that overexpressed RAMP1 increased expression of Gαi3 (inhibitory G protein α subunit 3). While Gαi3 is typically inhibitory, here Gαi3 activated PKA (protein kinase A) through a non-classical pathway..."
