Course Title:
Neuronal Networks and Behavior
Course Number:
AB_1051
Course Description:
In Neuronal Networks & Behavior we will discuss different aspects of brain function ranging from sensory information processing, control of movement, learning and memory to cognition and emotions. We will study how neuronal networks in different brain areas give rise to these functions. To achieve this, we will use a combination of lectures and practicals. These will build on chapters from the book ‘Neuroscience’ by Purves and colleagues (5th or 6th edition). Some background knowledge on neuronal function and principles of synaptic transmission is required for this course. To help you in exploring the exciting territory of neurons that shape our behavior, the first two weeks will be centered on lectures. In the second week, a series of practicals will start where you will perform experiments to study how networks control behavior.
