- Neuroscience
Training Program of Kuopio Doctoral Program
of Medical Sciences and Graduate
School of A.I. Virtanen Institute organize a Stereology
Course, which is approved by the International
Society of Stereology.
- The focus of
this course is on techniques and practical approaches in
modern stereology and its applications in neuroscience.
Since this is a methodological course, the techniques and
approaches can be applied to other research fields as well.
- In the
beginning of the course, the limitations of traditional
procedures, which led to the introduction of new approaches,
will be discussed. Most of the time (>90%) will, however,
be specifically devoted to understand the theory and
practice of stereology and how it can be used to obtain
reliable quantitative data from samples of the nervous
system.
- Lectures are
followed by hands-on exercises on each topic to bring the
theory to practice. To facilitate learning, overcome the
fear of asking "stupid questions" in this theoretically
complicated field, and increase interaction between students
and faculty, this course will be run as an 'intensive
course' style.
-
Bring sections from your own project
-
Bring a pocket calculator, a pair
of scissors, a sharp knife and a ruler (mm, cm)
with you
-
We have computerized microscopes optimized for
stereology
-
Bringing photographs or anything else would also be
very helpful in the discussions between the participants
and instructors on specific stereological problems related
to participants’ own project
