MECHANISMS OF NEURONAL RECOVERY AND REGENERATION
INSC 600-003

W/F 2:00-3:30; 2nd half of Spring 2007
This course will be offered during the second half of the spring semester in 2009. Stay tuned! Or contact us if you want to receive information when the time comes.

Module Overview

A bench-to-bedside presentation of the mechanisms, methodologies, clinical applications, and future directions for restoring function of the acutely damaged nervous system.

Module Goals

Most sessions will discuss: a) mechanisms of repair; b) targets for therapy and past clinical trials; c) development of future treatments via new clinical trials.

Assigned Readings

Papers from the primary literature will be assigned weekly and be presented by teams of students during the Friday course sessions. There will be no lecture on these days. Students in the class, as well as instuctors, will fill out the presentation feedback form to give the presenters helpful comments about their presentation.
