中文简介:
与计算机中的晶体管一样,突触执行复杂的计算并将大脑的非线性处理元件(神经元)连接到功能电路中。了解突触在神经元计算中的作用对于理解大脑如何工作至关重要。在本课程中,学生将学习突触神经生理学领域的前沿研究。该课程将涵盖突触形成,突触功能,突触可塑性,突触在高级认知过程中的作用以及突触功能障碍如何导致疾病等主题。本课程是麻省理工学院生物系提供的许多高级本科研讨会之一。这些研讨会专为有兴趣使用初级研究文献的学生量身定制,以便在高度互动的环境中讨论和了解当前的生物学研究。高级本科生研讨会的许多讲师都是博士后科学家,他们对教学非常感兴趣。
课程简介: Like transistors in a computer, synapses perform complex computations and connect the brain's non-linear processing elements (neurons) into a functional circuit. Understanding the role of synapses in neuronal computation is essential to understanding how the brain works. In this course students will be introduced to cutting-edge research in the field of synaptic neurophysiology. The course will cover such topics as synapse formation, synaptic function, synaptic plasticity, the roles of synapses in higher cognitive processes and how synaptic dysfunction can lead to disease. This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting. Many instructors of the Advanced Undergraduate Seminars are postdoctoral scientists with a strong interest in teaching.
