In this online class led by Dr. Elena Lopez-Ortega, we learned about the brain and memory, including the structure of neurons, how information is encoded at synapses, important proteins that play a role in learning and memory , and cognitive diseases that may result when these proteins are disrupted. Along with all of that fascinating information, we learned about light microscopy, confocal, and 2-photon microscopy and tried our hands at analyzing and manipulating beautiful images of the brain!
