Content:

The module provides an overview the neural basis of hearing and communication in the mammalian (human) brain. Both neuroanatomical, physiological (functional) and behavioral aspects are taught and discussed. Special emphasis will be placed on linking these different aspects that make up modern neurobiological research.

Learning objectives:

Students acquire detailed knowledge of the vertebrate brain. Students learn to design, perform, and understand neurobiological experiments  and acquire basic skills in quantitative data analysis and statistics. Students learn to discuss and present their projects and related literature to a professional audience.
