Neuroscience is a broad multidisciplinary research field. This course aims to provide starting N&C students, originating from various bachelor programs, with a firm background in the main topics in neuroscience, to introduce research groups involved in the master to facilitate internship selection and to give a first introduction into advanced neuroscience techniques. Topics include anatomy, structural and functional imaging, neuropharmacology, behaviour, cognition, memory, linguistics, biophysics, perception and action, neurophysiology, molecular neuroscience and neurogenetics. Topics will cover normal brain function as well as a great variety of neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases. Students will get acquainted with the latest developments in the various fields, and with literature research and database mining, and will practise reviewing, reading, presenting and writing papers. Students will be introduced to state-of-the–art techniques by hands-on practicals and demonstrations. For practicals and assignments students with different backgrounds are mixed in multidisciplinary groups. Theoretical background will be provided in lectures, tutorials, computer-assisted practicals and self-study assignments.
