Neurobiology

• Interdisciplinary and highly specialized lectures by experts
• Lectures are inspired by the basic neuroscience curriculum of the former International Master’s Programme in Experimental & Clinical Neurosciences ECN
• The main topics of the lectures are
  o    Molecular / cellular neurobiology, neurogenetics
  o    Neurobiochemistry of neuroactive substances, neuronal plasticity
  o    Sensory and motor neuroscience
  o    Behavioural neuroscience
  o    Mollecular and cellular mechanisms of emotions
• In the related seminar, recent research-based topics or relevant methods in the field of neurobiology will be presented and discussed

1. two lecture series Molecular, Cellular and Systemic Neurosciences MCSN (Neurons and Glia, Neuroplasticity, Neuronal Signaling, Synapse, Receptors, Neuroendocrinology, Behavioural Neurobiology, Sensory and Motor Neurobiology)

MCSN I, WS, Mo 8.30h – 10h
MCSN II, WS, Thu 8.30h – 10h

2. MCSN seminar "neuroscientific methods" (54761)

In the seminar a seminar presentation has to be held and registered in Flexnow as an ungraded study achievement (Studienleistung).

30 min oral examination (graded)

The oral examination is held by a pair of two Professors. Possible examiners are Prof. Bosch, Prof. Brembs, Prof. Egger, Prof. Schneuwly and Prof. Wetzel.

Examination dates are offered several times per year.

For the examination you have to register with Prof. Egger (Veronica.Egger@ur.de).

After Prof. Egger has arranged a date, you will be informed per E-Mail.

Please register for the examination in flexnow as well.
