| Kursens syfte | The purpose of this course is to give doctoral students insights into the neural control of homeostasis, particularly the regulation of inflammation, and how engineering, neuroscience, immunology and clinical medicine can come together to find new ways to treat disease. |
| Kursens lärandemål | After the course, the doctoral student will be able to define prototypical neural circuits that regulate homeostasis explain the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of and recovery from autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases and infection identify the components of the ""inflammatory reflex"" discuss regulatory mechanisms for cytokine release classify different interfaces with the nervous system and the immune system contrast advantages and drawbacks with major treatment approaches for inflammatory diseases describe molecular sensors for danger in the immune system and the nervous system define bioelectronic medicine and explain its potential role in clinical medicine summarize challenges in engineering and medicine for development of bioelectronic medicine technology |
| Kursens innehåll | Neural control of organ systems will be discussed in molecular, cellular and clinical perspectives. Special attention will be given to the mechanisms that detect and regulate inflammation. The neurophysiology of vagus nerve stimulation and other treatments that involve interfacing with the nervous system will be reviewed. Progress in neural interfacing and device development within the emerging field of Bioelectronic Medicine will be discussed. |
| Arbetsformer | Lectures, a student project group and a student presentation. |
| Obligatoriska moment | Lectures, project group participation, active participation in presentation and passing the examination is compulsory for ""PASS"". Limited absence from lectures can be compensated for after individual discussion with the course organizers. |
| Examination | Project presentation and written examination. |
| Kurslitteratur och övriga läromedel | Relevant articles and other written material will be made available after admission. | Kursansvarig |
