COURSES AND TRAINING Third Annual EXPERIMENTAL
NEUROGENETICS OF THE MOUSE
May 8-16, 2006 University of Tennessee Health Science Center Memphis, Tennessee
U.S.A.
This lecture and hands-on workshop is to train students and researchers in the use of mice in the analysis of nervous system structure and function. Topics covered include mouse informatics, genetics of Mendelian and complex disorders of the nervous system, and various approaches to examining gene function (e.g., knockouts, ethyl nitro sourea, mutagenesis, RNA interference, inbred lines).
A significant part of the course will be devoted to phenotypic analysis of mice for neurological traits using behavioral, anatomical, physiological, and molecular screens. Invited speakers include
Ellen Hess,
Ilan Golani, and
Doug Walhsten, plus faculty affiliated with the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium. See
