In this online class led by Dr. Elena Lopez-Ortega, we'll learn about the brain and memory, including the structure of neurons, how information is encoded at synapses, important proteins that play a role in learning and memory , and cognitive diseases that may result when these proteins are disrupted.

Along with all of that fascinating information, you'll learn and be able to work with sophisticated microscopy data. Learn about light microscopy, confocal, and 2-photon microscopy. Then try your hand at analyzing and manipulating beautiful images of the brain!
