Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This series of lectures is hold in a block and covers the following 6 topics: i) neuroanatomy, ii) biochemistry and pharmacology of the nervous system, iii) neurophysiology, iv) neurogenetics and molecular neurobiology, v) neuroimmunology and vi) de- and regeneration. Based on the knowledge of the lecture neurobiology (VO 300322) the broad spectrum of the basic neuroscience will be elaborated. This lecture is hold in English language. It ends with a written exam (Die Fragen können auch in deutscher Sprache beantwortet werden). There are three dates to perform the exam.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The written exams contain 8 short questions (each accounting for 2 points) and two assay questions (each accounting for 5 points). A minimum of 13.5 points are required to pass the exam (Also half and quarter points are given).

Examination topics

This lecture consists of45 units and we intend to ask questions from each of the different units covering the entire lecture.
Each lecturer provides three short and one assay questions for each of the 45 units newly each year. This represents the pool of questions used for the different exams for this year’s lecture. Each professor corrects his own questions. The final grading is important to continue with the hands-on practical neuroscience course Basics of Neuroscience. The grading cutoff to attend the course is usually in the middle of the points required for a “Befriedigend”.
