Text/Reference
Books,etc. |
Students will be exposed to the latest literature related to the research topic, and will present and discuss their findings. We aim to understand pathological neuroscience based on a book entitled "Molecular Neuropharmacology: A foundation for clinical neuroscience 4th ed." by Nestler et al. (2020). |
