Explores the physiology and pathologies of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1, including acromegaly, gigantism, and various types of dwarfism.
Explores the stages of neurodevelopment from induction to postnatal brain development, covering neural plate regionalization, neural tube closure, and fate commitment.
Explores embryonic induction through Spemann and Mangold's experiments, highlighting organizer roles, neural plate formation, and Activin as a morphogen.
Explores brain circuits for sensory perception and external representation, covering thalamus communication, energy-saving mechanisms, inhibitory control, and time perception.
