NSCI 337 - Neurotoxicology and Neurodegeneration

FC NSMA
4 credits
This course examines the pathophysiological link between (i) neurotoxicology, the adverse effects of chemicals, metals, and injurious agents on the nervous system and (ii) neurodegeneration, the progressive neuronal loss observed in many diseases due to aberrant cellular pathways. Topics such as neurotoxicology of the nervous system, biochemical, molecular, developmental neurotoxicology, and the synergism of genes and environment in neurodegenerative diseases are covered. In addition to the assigned readings, students will read, present, and discuss findings from current literature.
