BIOL 74.02 Diseases of the Nervous System

This course will investigate the cellular basis of several common neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, demyelinating disorders and ALS. For each we will take a holistic approach to understand the: 1) cell types and pathways that are dysfunctional, 2) mechanisms of disease presentation, heterogeneity and patient prognosis and 3) current state of the scientific literature. Commonalities will be studied to understand how dysfunction in multicellular interactions results in a degenerative cascade of mind and body.
