The objective of this course is to provide the student with a broad knowledge of current approaches for the study of neural function and behavior.
The student should get an understanding of information processing in synapses, neurons and microcircuits; understand the experimental approaches used in analyzing the neurophysiological basis of behavior in intact animals, and understand the use of animal models in the study of neurological disease. The course includes a wide variety of animal model systems used in neuroscience research, and techniques for genetic manipulation in both invertebrate (e.g. C. elegans, Drosophila) and vertebrate models. The students should be able to critically read and present the current literature, and discuss the function and structure of neuronal circuits in relation to animal behavior. This course provides an up-to-date knowledge of the neural basis for indirect measurements of global brain function such as PET and fMRI. As such, it provides insights useful when designing and interpreting experiments in human brain scanning studies. The course provides examples of genetics, signal processing, neural modelling and physiology used in the study of neural function in health and disease.
