300252 VO Cell type-specific features of the CNS (2017S)

This lecture series will focus on cell type-specific mechanisms and features of the CNS, including aspects of Development (cell lineage, origin, interactions, migration, differentiation); Histology and Cell biology (cell-specific markers, morphology, intracellular transport, neurotransmitter localisation and release, intercellular interactions); Regulation of gene expression (transcription, translation,
post-translational modification and signal transduction); Molecular mechanism of inherited neurodegenerative disorders and corresponding disease models (e.g. Huntington disease, leukodystrophies, Alexander
disease) for neurons and glia."
