the physical and information sciences contribute to the advance of neuroscience.
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. 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. 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. Women and under-represented minorities are
encouraged to apply. </span></p>
