Course Description

Stanford Immersive Neuroscience is a laboratory course on cellular and molecular neuroscience. It features lectures and laboratories and covers topics such as cloning, hybridization, vector design, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, electrophysiology, optogenetics and imaging of activity sensors such as GCaMP. It is the entry course for incoming graduate students in neuroscience and enrollment is limited to this group. Goals are (1) to provide all students from diverse backgrounds with a foundation in basic principles of neuroscience for as they enter this graduate program, (2) to bring students and faculty together in team-based problem solving in a laboratory setting, and (3) to provide hands-on experience with both established and cutting-edge methods in neuroscience. Students will work in multiple small teams with direct faculty engagement across all aspects of the course.
