Abstract

Development of the nervous system (NS). The adult NS: plasticity ®eneration, potential & mechanisms. Sensory systems: visual, auditory, olfactory & gustatory system. Kognitive functions, learning & memory: molecular & cellular mechanisms, animal models. Physiology of movement control: motor unit, neuromuscular transmission, reflexes, rhythmic and arbitrary movements. Diseases of the NS.

Objective

To give an overview of the normal development, plasticity and regeneration of the nervous system based on molecular, cellular and biochemical approaches.

Content

Development: Early development of the nervous system, cellular level, nerve fiber outgrowth, develpment of neuronal networks; biology og the adult nervous system, regeneration and repair: networks and nerve fibers, regeneration, pathologic loss of cells.
