Introduction to Neuroscience Learning Outcomes

Subject specific

• Basic knowledge and understanding of cellular neurobiology(the neuron, ion channels, excitable membranes, action potential)
• Ability to describe processes by which nerve cells interact with each other as well as with other cells (types of synapses and transmitters, function of glia)
• Ability to sketch the gross anatomy and function of the human nervous system, including sensory, motor, and integrative systems of the CNS
• Knowledge and understanding of the structure, function and development of brain regions and circuitries as well as variability and dysfunctions important in the context of cognition (macroscopic anatomy of the human brain, localisation of functions and their variability, gross information flow within the brain)
• Knowledge and understanding of methods and techniques for conducting experiments and recording brain activity

Methodological

• Ability to sketch and interpret experimental approaches
• Use of techniques in neuroscience

Generic
Instrumental

• Personal learning, knowledge- and time management
