Neuroimmunology

This seminar will focus on how immune and central nervous systems communicate and influence each other. We begin with the anatomical and cellular basis of the thymus, gut, and brain, then discuss the connection between these organs and how these connections can influence neurological disorders. These issues will be explored through lectures and student presentations of journal articles every week. The course requires no prior knowledge of neuroimmunology, but familiarity with basic neuroscience and immunology principles will be assumed.
