As seen in the 08 February issue of Science:

This course, supported by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, targets students with training in the physical sciences, mathematics or engineering who seek an introduction to the concepts and research methodologies of modern neuroscience. No previous training in biology is required. Topics covered will range from cellular biophysics to systems neuroscience, including particularly imaging methods for the study of single neurons, networks of neurons and human brain dynamics during execution of behavioral computations. The course will be unique in its focus on neural dynamics at several scales of complexity – cells, circuits, intact brains – and the combination of didactic lectures and laboratory exercises, including cellular biophysics, synaptic interactions and plasticity in neuronal networks, and fMRI imaging of targeted brain regions in human subjects. The capstone of this course will be one-week student-designed research projects integrating concepts and methodologies encountered during the initial formal lectures and laboratory exercises. Course work will include morning lectures and tutorials and laboratory exercises selected to complement and extend the themes presented in morning lectures.
