Course Details
• Molecular Basis of Neurogenetics: This unit will cover the fundamental molecular mechanisms that underlie neurogenetics, including DNA structure, function, and regulation, as well as the role of genes in the development and function of the nervous system.
• Neurogenetic Disorders: This unit will explore various neurogenetic disorders, such as Huntington's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia, and fragile X syndrome, including their clinical features, genetics, and pathophysiology.
• Genetic Testing and Counseling: This unit will discuss the principles and applications of genetic testing and counseling in the context of neurogenetics, including the benefits, limitations, and ethical considerations of genetic testing.
• Neuroimaging in Neurogenetics: This unit will cover the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as MRI and PET, to study the neural basis of neurogenetic disorders and to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
• Neurogenetic Therapies: This unit will explore the current and emerging therapies for neurogenetic disorders, including gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and pharmacological treatments.
• Neurodevelopment and Neuroplasticity: This unit will examine the role of genes in neurodevelopment and neuroplasticity, including the impact of gene-environment interactions on brain function and behavior.
• Neurogenetics of Neuropsychiatric Disorders: This unit will explore the genetic basis of major neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorder, and the implications for diagnosis and treatment.
• Ethical and Legal Issues in Neurogenetics: This unit will discuss the ethical and legal issues surrounding neurogenetics, including genetic privacy, discrimination, and the use of genetic information in clinical and research settings.
