Professor Diamond continues her discussion of the nervous system, finishing her discussion of the derivatives of the neural tube. She begins by discussing the lamina terminalis and the four ventricles, relating each to the source of their derivation and the areas of the brain in which they are found. Next, she continues her discussion of diencephalon from the last lecture and describes the roles of the thalamus and hypothalamus. After...more

Dell describes the PC industry today as a jump ball environment where no company can stay in a strong position for long. The development of wireless networks, miniaturization, and the influence of the internet has changed the competitive landscape of the industry, he says. One of the biggest threats is the changing computing model. To combat this threat, Dell, Inc. is focused on online servers and storage, new online devices, and...more

Hawkins talks on the importance and inevitability of portablity. With portability comes small size, low cost, simplicity and the need for less power. With wireless networks on their way to becoming very inexpensive, Hawkins envisions a T1 line with high horse power and large memory in the pocket! The need for portability will make the item in your pocket the center of your universe, he says. He notes that there will be obstacles, but...more

Professor Brian Wandell tells the inspirational story of Mike May, the world-record holder for blind downhill skiing. Wandell leads a multidisciplinary team of Stanford researchers who are working together to treat the many dimensions of blindness: retinal imaging, neural connections, and social psychology.

Professor Diamond continues her discussion of the nervous system beginning with a discussion of myelin-forming oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, saltatory conduction from the nodes of ranvier, and the similarity of the function of microglia to monocytes. She moves on to describe the development of the neural tube by drawing a cross-section of the neural tube and depicting the changes it undergoes, forming the ventricles of the brain,...more

In this lecture, Professor Diamond continues her discussion of the nervous system and begins by reviewing the telencephalon before transitioning into a discussion of the six layers of the neocortex. She discusses the hippocampal-dentate complex, the archicortex, and the temporal lobe, which contains the hippocampus and pyramidal cells along with the fimbrea, fornix, and mammilary bodies. To enhance students' understanding of the neural...more

Karl Deisseroth is pioneering bold new treatments for depression and other psychiatric diseases. By sending pulses of light into the brain, Deisseroth can control neural activity with remarkable precision. In this short talk, Deisseroth gives an thoughtful and awe-inspiring overview of his Stanford University lab's groundbreaking research in "optogenetics".

This course is designed to serve as a first course in an undergraduate electrical engineering (EE), or electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) curriculum. The course introduces the fundamentals of the lumped circuit abstraction. Topics covered include: resistive elements and networks; independent and dependent sources; switches and MOS transistors; digital abstraction; amplifiers; energy storage elements; dynamics of first-...more
