# Designer Neurons – How Cell Types are Generated in the Nervous System and the Laboratory (half course throughout the year) #### calendar\_today Date and Time **May 23, 2013** 03:15PM - 03:15PM EDT #### pin\_drop Location **Robinson 106** Laura Magnotti / Medical School / \*Neurobiology 95hfp, Thursdays 7 – 8:30 p.m., Robinson 106 The derivation of stem cells from a human embryo ten years ago ignited an explosion of scientific and public interest. This tutorial will explore the current understanding of neural stem cells as it relates to their role in physiological and pathological states in developing and adult animals. We will also explore the generation, characterization, and manipulation of neural stem cells in current research. Prerequisite: Life and Physical Sciences A or Life Sciences 1a, MCB 80 and permission of the instructor.
