emphasize the major ways that scientists trained in the physical and
information sciences contribute to the advance of neuroscience. </span><span style="font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial" class="">It will introduce students
with quantitative training in the physical sciences, mathematics or engineering
to the concepts and research methodologies of modern neuroscience. Topics
covered will range from cellular biophysics to systems neuroscience, including
particularly imaging methods for the study of single neurons, networks of
neurons and human brain dynamics during execution of behavioral computations.
The course will be unique in its focus on neural dynamics at several scales of
complexity – cells, circuits, intact brains – and the combination of didactic
lectures and laboratory exercises, including cellular biophysics, synaptic
interactions and plasticity in neuronal networks, and fMRI imaging of targeted
brain regions in human subjects. </span><span style="font-family:Arial" class="">The
course includes substantive instruction in neurotechnologies, ranging from large-scale
multi-electrode and optical recording, optogenetic stimulation and mathematical
analysis of neural dynamics within the datasets produced by these methods. </span><span style="font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial" class="">The capstone of this
course will be one-week student-designed research projects integrating concepts
and methodologies encountered during the initial formal lectures and laboratory
exercises. </span><span style="font-family:Arial" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
