Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this course is to train students to critically approach research problems in modern neuroscience with a focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the development and function of neural circuits in the brain. Using different experimental model systems, i.e. fruit flies, nematodes and fish, the morphology and activity of defined neurons and circuits in the brain will be measured, also in combination with functional genetics. A variety of techniques will be used, including genetic manipulation, recording of animal behaviour, advanced microscopy for imaging neuroanatomy and neural circuit activity, and statistical analysis of neural data sets.
