Focused on the effective dissemination of scientific information through distinct modes of oral and written communication. Through practical examples of activities common to the profession (writing a grant proposal, presenting research work orally, and preparing a critical review of a submitted scientific manuscript), students will develop the skills necessary to effectively communicate scientific ideas, experiments and results. Each of the activities will be dissected into key sets that will be individually developed with the aid of interactive discussions and peer review. Enrollment limited to 12 graduate students.

Key developmental and homeostatic hormones such as steriod hormones (e.g. estrogen, testosterone, glucocorticoids), and lipophilic non-steroids (e.g. retinoic acid, thyroid hormone) act through receptors that directly bind DNA and control gene expression. This course examines the activities, structures, functions, and mechanisms of action of these nuclear hormone receptors and the consequences of alterations in protein or hormone function. Approaches span genetics, biochemistry, genomics, proteomics, and developmental biology.

The concept of one gene, one protein is nowhere more violated than in protein encoding genes expressed in the nervous system. We will cover a variety of post-transcriptional processing events which serve to generate protein diversity in the nervous system including alternative splicing, trans-splicing, and RNA editing. We will also address non-coding RNAs and their roles, in particular, in regulating nervous system function. Since it is clear that nervous system complexity is not a function of gene number across large phylogenetic distances, the course will be aimed at instilling a greater understanding of how the regulation of shared "toolkit" genes results in organismal complexity.
