This course will provide students with the most current understanding of the molecular, cellular and systems changes underlying the disturbances in brain function in bipolar  disorders. During the 6-day workshop, students will learn about the clinical and epidemiological aspects of bipolar disorder as well as explore in detail the genetic, neurobiological and immune-metabolic underpinnings of these complex psychiatric disorders. In addition to hearing about the most recent research in these areas, controversial topics and challenges to basic assumptions in the field will be explored and discussed. A diverse faculty will bring the most up-to-date results and theories to the students, making this Workshop a valuable resource for young researchers starting out in this fast-moving and expansive field. Not only will it help them build the foundation for their future research, it will also introduce them to many potential collaborators working to understand bipolar disorder from different perspective.
