MIMM 414 Advanced Immunology 3 Credits Offered in the: Fall Winter Summer Microbiology and Immun (Sci): An advanced course serving as a logical extension of MIMM 314. The course will integrate molecular, cellular and biochemical events involved in the ontogeny of the lymphoid system and its activation in the immune response. The course will provide the student with an up-to-date understanding of a rapidly moving field. Offered by: Microbiology & Immunology Fall 3 hour lecture Prerequisite: MIMM 314 Terms Fall 2024 Instructors J枚rg H Fritz
MIMM 509 Inflammatory Processes 3 Credits Offered in the: Fall Winter Summer Microbiology and Immun (Sci): This course concentrates on the non-specific aspects of the immune response, an area which is not adequately covered by the other immunology courses presented at the university. Interactions between guest researchers (from McGill and other universities) and students will be furthered. Offered by: Microbiology & Immunology Winter 3 hours of seminar Corequisite: PHGY 513 or MIMM 414 This course will be given in conjunction with the Division of Experimental Medicine Prerequisite: MIMM 314 Terms Winter 2025 Instructors Joyce Rauch, Giovanni (John) Di Battista
PSYC 470 Memory and Brain 3 Credits Offered in the: Fall Winter Summer Psychology: Memory systems are studied with an emphasis on the neural computations that occur at various stages of the processing stream, focusing on the hippocampus, amygdala, basal ganglia, cerebellum and cortex.
