300392 SE Modern approaches in the analysis of neuronal circuits and behavior (2021W)

Each participant is expected to read the current paper prior to each course. Typically, there will be one-week time to read each paper. Expect about one full working day to read each paper carefully and to do research filling gaps in knowledge (e.g. methods, prior papers onto which the current one builds-up etc.). The students are expected to read the paper and to do additional research into the topic independently prior to each course installment.

Each participant is expected to actively participate in the discussions.

Participants are required to install the zoom app and be present with camera turned ON throughout the course.

Presentation: Each participant will choose a paper with a relevant research topic after discussion with the group. The student has to study and familiarize their-self with the background of this research topic and methodologies of the paper, which will require reading additional literature like papers and review articles. The student will prepare a 30min PowerPoint introduction into the background of this research topic and methodologies for the day when the paper will be discussed among all course participants. This part can be done in groups of two, but each participants contribution must approx. 50%.

Participants have to be present at least 80% of all course installments.
