Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
How do brains process information and generate behavior? Through conceptual and technological advances, modern neuroscience is making major breakthroughs in understanding the fundamental principles by which biological neural networks operate to perform their functions. The goal of this seminar is to enable students to critically evaluate primary literature in the field. Emphasis will be placed on recently published studies of neural circuits and behavior in various animal models. The course aims to stimulate students' curiosity to develop their individual research interests for their M.S. and Ph.D. studies.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students will select a primary research publication and prepare a presentation of its scientific background and key research findings, including a critical evaluation of the study. Students will lead a critical discussion with all participants.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
We invite students with an interest in neurobiology during their M.S. or Ph.D. studies from all disciplines, including biology, computer science, psychology, physics, etc. Students are expected to be familiar with basic and advanced concepts in neurobiology (e.g., content of the lecture 300190-1 VO Concepts of Neurobiology (2023W) or 301402-1 VO Basics in Neuroscience I (2023W)). The lecture 300194-1 VO Information Processing in Neural Networks (2024S) provides a good knowledge base for successful participation in this seminar.
Examination topics
See above. The grade will be based 50/50 on the quality of the presentation and active participation in the discussions.
Reading list
Will be provided during the seminar
