Neurobiology

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: BIO501

This course will explore the structure and function of the mammalian nervous system by examining the molecules, cells, and circuits that are involved in directing behavior. We will discuss how the nervous system is built during development, how it changes with experience throughout life, how it functions in normal behavior, and how malfunctioning communication between neurons and other cells leads to neurological diseases. The course will also cover basic and functional anatomy of the central nervous system. Teaching will be performed through lectures, highly interactive seminars, group assignments and individual assignments through which the students learn and practice how to understand scientific literature in the field of neurobiology and how to present and discuss questions concerning neurobiology in a broader perspective.

Behörighet

For admission to the course, approved courses of 120 credits in the field of natural science are required, of which at least 15 credits must be within the main subject molecular biology or equivalent. In addition, applicants must prove their knowledge of English: English 6/English B from Swedish Upper Secondary School or the equivalent level of an internationally recognized test, for example TOEFL, IELTS.
