This course will provide students with insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying development of the nervous system. We will discuss the importance of these mechanisms by highlighting cases where alterations in these processes lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. We will review what is currently known about these topics and the areas of active research. In the lecture, we will refer to figures from research literature, and you will be reading and discussing articles in the discussion section. Reading articles critically is an important skill for all biologists and a great way to learn how research is conducted. By the end of the course, you will have a good background in neural development and the latest methods used to study it.
