| BSE7001 | Introduction to Systems Neuroscience | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | Brain Science and Engineering | English | Yes | |
| This course covers the field of systems neuroscience, which investigates how the signals generated by numerous neurons distributed across different regions of the animal brain contribute to encoding sensory information, thought, memory, and the modulation of behavior. Systems neuroscience focuses not only on the coding properties of individual neurons but also on unraveling the principles by how population-level activity patterns represent and process information. Recent advances in neuro-techniques enable the simultaneous recording of activity from hundreds to thousands of neurons in behaving animals. These methods have made it possible to analyze brain function beyond the level of single cells, extending to populations and networks of neurons. Such technological progress has provided a new foundation for systematically understanding the mechanisms underlying complex brain functions and information processing. This course introduces both traditional approaches in systems neuroscience and the latest research trends and analytical methodologies to undergraduate, master‘s, and doctoral students. The aim is to help students develop a balanced perspective, ranging from the fundamental concepts of systems neuroscience to its most recent applied research. | |||||||||
| BSE7002 | Brain Cell Biology | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | Brain Science and Engineering | English | Yes | |
| This course provides a systematic overview of cell biology for neuroscience researchers, from foundational knowledge to the latest insights. The course covers the gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy of the brain. Students first learn the diverse structural and functional classifications of neurons, covering morphological features of the soma, dendrites, and axons, as well as their electrophysiological properties. Glial cells, long regarded merely as supportive elements, are now recognized through recent research as active, essential participants in brain function. The course explores the structural characteristics and functional diversity of astrocytes, microglia, and other glia, incorporating cutting-edge findings. The neurovascular unit is examined in depth along with mechanisms of cerebral blood flow regulation and their tight coupling with neuronal activity. Pathological changes in each cell type are studied in major neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke, linking cellular-level understanding to disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. Modern core methodologies are introduced. Through this course, students will gain an integrated understanding of the structure and function of diverse brain cells, acquire the ability to approach their own research questions from a cell-biological perspective, and develop the skills to design original experiments, ultimately growing into independent researchers. | |||||||||
| BSE7003 | Optical imaging for neuroscientist | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | Brain Science and Engineering | English | Yes | |
| This course provides a systematic introduction to optical imaging methodologies for neuroscience researchers. It comprehensively covers optical imaging technologies—a core tool in modern neuroscience—ranging from classical techniques to cutting-edge technologies, with balanced instruction on the scientific principles and practical applications of each method. Students will understand the basic operating principles of diverse imaging techniques, from foundational methods such as brightfield and fluorescence microscopy to advanced technologies including confocal microscopy, two-photon microscopy, light-sheet microscopy, and super-resolution microscopy. Beyond simply cataloging techniques, the course develops critical judgment through comparative analysis of each method's resolution limits, optical properties, and effects on biological specimens, enabling students to independently select the most appropriate imaging tools for their research questions. Students will perform hands-on analysis using real imaging data. Additionally, they will learn about the development process and applications of various recently developed fluorescent proteins. Through analyzing and discussing research employing state-of-the-art optical imaging techniques, students will cultivate their ability to select appropriate imaging methods for hypothesis testing and synthesize experimental results. Through this comprehensive training, students will grow into independent, self-directed researchers. | |||||||||
