A Post-Graduate Course
Hi! Today I will tell about a postgraduate course that I would like to take, Invertebrate Neurobiology. I think this course is interesting and will bring significant knowledge in the field of neuroscience, although it is limited only to the invertebrates; but I like the invertebrates.
The most important object of the course is to learn to study genetic approaches to problems in the field of neuroscience using Drossophila melanogaster as a model; the Drossophila is commonly known as the fruit fly, and it is very used in the genetic field because it has a few pairs of chromosomes and a short life cycle. The most attractive subject is the genetic tracking, working with a living organism, in this case an invertebrate, as with its simple organization and molecular/genetic tools, it is ideal to have a notion before working in humans.
Fortunately this course is available on the faculty of the front, the Medicine Faculty, so it is very accessible to give presencial.

Invertebrate neuroscience sounds very special...I suppose flies are not really associated with neurons by most people (haha), but I've heard that the octopus is a fairly neurologically complex invertebrate.
