Course description
This course will provide curious students with an overview of the field of nervous system injury and possibilities for repair. We will focus on the cellular pathobiology but have a translational outlook and integrate a clinical perspective.
After the course, the student will know the basic concepts and recognize relevant research questions in the field. Hence, the student will obtain up-to-date information and understanding of the problems and possibilities for repairing an injured central or peripheral nervous system.
Prerequisites and Selection
Prerequisite courses, or equivalent
Basic Neuroscience course or corresponding knowledge. The basic neuroscience course should include neuroanatomy, CNS cell-types and their functions, and some CNS injury/disorders.
Selection
Selection will be based on:
1) the relevance of the course syllabus for the applicant’s individual study plan/research (according to written motivation).
2) start date of doctoral studies (priority given to earlier start date).
