Basic principles of developmental neurobiology, including neural induction, regional specification, neural stem cell biology, differentiation, neurogenesis, gliogenesis, neural migration, axon growth and guidance, synaptogenesis and plasticity, cell death, and behavioural outcomes. Understanding neural development in terms of its relevance to facilitating regeneration and recovery of function following disease and injury is highlighted. The course also focuses on the use of vertebrate and invertebrate animal models as discovery tools to investigate the fundamental principles of mammalian brain development. -- Course Website
