2026 Patricia Levy Zusman International Mini Corse in Regenration Biology

Data Risk and Rewards: From Preliminary to Publication.

Throughout its history, neural regeneration has been a challenging field due to the complexity of modeling and assessing plasticity. Modeling the injured nervous system is difficult due to its inherent complexity. Repair and regeneration require a multidisciplinary approach that integrates tools from biology, engineering, immunology, and more. A common problem is the empirical testing of neural regeneration at anatomical and functional levels. Ultimately, the complex nature of the nervous system and the neural regeneration field requires consideration across multiple disciplines to develop investigative principles that promote scientific rigor and reproducibility. This mini course aims to deepen participants’ understanding of the mechanics and synthesis of project development in systems neuroscience, as well as the implementation and interpretation of experimental design, scientific rigor, and statistics.
