Teaching
In the past I have taught Developmental Neurobiology and Neurogenetics. This fall I will be teaching Developmental Biology and in the Spring I will teach Neurogenetics.

Neurogenetics
Prof Paradis and Prof Sengupta
Development and function of the nervous system and responses of excitable cells studied in neurological and behavioral mutants. Characterization and manipulation of genes, defined by these mutations and using molecular biological tools. Organisms: roundworms, fruit flies, mammals. Neurobiological areas: responses to sensory stimuli, biological rhythms, learning and memory, aging, and reproductive behavior.
NBIO143
Developmental Neurobiology
Professor Sengupta and Professor Paradis
Discusses the mechanisms used in the development of the nervous system. Topics include determination of neuronal cell fates, neuronal differentiation and pattern formation, neuron survival and growth, and mechanisms responsible for generation of connectivity in the nervous system. Usually offered every second year.
