Laboratory in Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology
BIOL 250 SP

In recent years, an explosion of new immunological, biochemical and microscopic techniques have revolutionized the way neuroscientists study brain structure and function. The goal of this laboratory course is to introduce students to cutting edge laboratory techniques currently used to study the nervous system. Students will learn sterile tissue culture; how to section brain tissue and stain with antibodies using immunochemistry; how to analyze proteins by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoreseis and Western blotting; and how to detect neurochemical events associated with cell death. Class time will also be devoted to analysis of experimental design and hypothesis testing.
