Inhalte:
Students will learn about cutting-edge techniques for the investigation of key concepts in the synergistic field of neuronal function, maintenance and degeneration (from molecules to dynamic processes in the establishment of robust brain function) across genetic model organisms (mouse, zebrafisch, fly, worm). A lecture series is part of the practical course, covering current topics relating to neuronal function, maintenance and degeneration, ranging from neuroanatomy to neurophysiology (including the visualization of intracellular transport, neuronal activity in the living animal, and manipulation of neuronal activity). Specific papers will be discussed. Every student will present one research publication in form of an oral presentation (Referat).br>
Qualifikationsziele: At the end of the module, students will have gained a deep understanding of the advanced concepts covering neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. The topics covered will span evolutionary conserved molecular mechanisms of embryology, pattern formation in neural circuits, axon pathfinding, synaptogenesis, neuronal maintenance, autophagy, degenerative diseases, and neuropathology. The course will provide the students with an overview of the current state-of-the art of research in these fields, as well as with practical expertise on a high level, thereby providing them with the ability to understand and evaluate current scientific publications.

Knowledge about modern, relevant research techniques will be acquired and applied. During the 4th week there will be no lectures or practical course, but one research paper as well as the results from the practical course will be orally presented on separate occasions. Schließen
