Lecture on the most important concepts in software engineering

This lecture covers an introduction to connectomics, and image processing tools for the study of connectomics. 

This lecture covers acquisition techniques, the physics of MRI, diffusion imaging, prediction using fMRI. 

This lecture will provide an overview of neuroimaging techniques and their clinical applications.

Optical imaging offers a look inside the working brain. This lecture takes a look at orientation and ocular dominance columns in the visual cortex, and shows how they can be viewed with calcium imaging.

Functional imaging has led to the discovery of a plethora of visual cortical regions. This lecture introduces functional imaging techniques and their teachings about the visual cortex.

Investigating the structure of synapses with electron microscopy.

This primer on optogenetics primer discusses how to manipulate neuronal populations with light at millisecond resolution and offers possible applications such as curing the blind and "playing the piano" with cortical neurons.

2nd part of the lecture. Introduction to cell receptors and signalling cascades

GABAergic interneurons and local inhibition on the circuit level.

This lecture focuses on how the immune system can target and attack the nervous system to produce autoimmune responses that may result in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis and lupus cerebritis manifested by motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Despite the fact that the brain is an immune-privileged site, autoreactive lymphocytes producing proinflammatory cytokines can cause active brain inflammation, leading to myelin and axonal loss.

How does the brain learn? This lecture discusses the roles of development and adult plasticity in shaping functional connectivity.

The mechanisms behind changes in synaptic function created by learning.
