For
advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty
in neurosciences and immunology; residents in neurology, neurosurgery,
or psychiatry; and for pharmaceutical industry scientists who wish
to establish familiarity with this subject area. Established investigators
in any of these fields will benefit from the course. Limited to
24 students.
A two-week program of lectures and discussion will describe how
genetic, molecular, and cell physiologic concepts and techniques
in immunology and neuroscience are applied to clarifying the pathogenesis
of neurologic and psychiatric diseases thought to have an immunologic
basis.
The presentations will deal both with the mechanisms underlying
the disease process, and with their physiologic consequences. The
sessions will be supplemented by descriptions and/or demonstrations
of patients with neuroimmunologic disease and of relevant animal
models.
