Description of the subject:
The course guides the students from whole-brain to genetically-targeted access to brain function at the single cell level. The goal is to discuss how new technologies provide foundations to new insights into brain function.
Course schedule
Week 1: Introduction
Week 2: Adeno-associated virus as a delivery vector for accessing brain function
