This course will provide students with an opportunity to advance their understanding of the emerging interdisciplinary research in Neuroimmunology. Topics covered include neural regulation of immune cells and lymphoid organs, and the reciprocal immune-mediated regulation of the central and peripheral nervous system. An in-depth analysis of microglial cells, meningeal immunity, as well as peripheral immunity will be discussed in the context of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases.
