Content of Learning Activity
Research techniques applied to Neurosciences. Experimental models: animal models, in vitro, in silico. Rodents, primates, other mammalians, C.elegans, drosophila, zebrafish. Primary cell cultures, cell lines, stem-cell derived cells (Neurons & glial cells), organotypic cultures, slices, organoïds. Electrophysiology: Extracellular, intracellular recordings, patch-clamp and its configurations, automated patch-clamp. Models used in electrophysiology: neurons, glia, cell culture, slices, in vivo. Optogenetics. Behavior: elevated plus maze, preference place, forced swimming test, social interactions. Microscopy: confocal, multi-photon, electronic. Fluorescence, FRET, calcium imaging. Fixed and non-fixed tissue, reconstitution of tissue. Retrograde viral tracing. Molecular biology: In situ hybridization, single-cell RT-PCR, transgenesis (CrispR, Cre/Lox), inducible system, siRNA
Gene and cellular therapies : Parkinson's disease, sleep disorder, neuronal cell death
