The aim of this course is to investigate the metabolic roles of neurotransmitters formed by decarboxylation of important amino acids and molecular level of neurons, to give detailed information about neuron biochemistry, to discuss the development of the nervous system and its connections with neurodegenerative diseases.

Mechanisms and pathogenesis of degenerative diseases of central and peripheral nervous. (Parkinson's Disease (PD), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Gaucher's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Multiple Sclerosis, etc.) Neuronal cell death, aggregation, and mitochondrial pathology, epidemiological studies, genetic studies, neurobiomarkers, gene therapy. Relationship between neurodegenerative diseases and environmental toxic substances and aging.
