# Part 1: NeuroPhotonics
Our brain is an organ that produces a variety of functions, including higher-order functions such as learning & memory and cognitive functions, and instinctive behaviors such as sleep-wake and biological rhythms and is composed of a network of hundreds of billions of neurons and glial cells. In this lecture, we will learn about the basic characteristics of neurons and glial cells, higher functions such as spatial cognition and memory learning produced by the network, and the mechanisms that control 24-hour circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles. In particular, we will explain the research methods in neuroscience by optical imaging and optogenetics in detail.
# Part2: A beginer's Guide to RNA-Seq Data Analysis
RNA-Seq is a very useful tool for deciphering the sequences of various RNAs in cells using a high-throughput sequencer. However, it is sometimes difficult for busy graduate students to prepare sequence libraries, set up Linux computers, analyze data, and draw graphs while designing daily experiments. In this lecture, I will show you how to make RNA-Seq library, build Linux server, and perform differential gene expression analysis, determine Poly(A) sites and analyze alternative splicing.
