TM Neurobiology

BIO-M-TM-N

Detailed module description - pdf (external link, opens in a new window)

Person in charge: Prof. Dr Inga Neumann

Module contents
  • Interdisciplinary and highly specialised 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
Module components
  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, Mon 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.

Module examination

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 by e-mail.

Please register for the examination in flexnow as well.

PM Neurophysiology

BIO-M-PM-NP

Detailed module description - pdf (external link, opens in a new window)

Prof. Dr Veronica Egger (link to research group) (external link, opens in a new window)

Please contact Prof. Veronica Egger (Veronica.Egger@ur.de)

Module contents
Investigation of sensory processing at the cellular and subcellular level, in particular in the first relay station of the mammalian olfactory system, the olfactory bulb. To observe cellular networks and single synapses at work, we use electrophysiological techniques in combination with high-resolution neurophotonics (two-photon Ca2+ imaging, two-photon uncaging).
Our main current projects involve:
1. Function of reciprocal synapses
2. Oscillatory network activity in the olfactory bulb
3. Characterisation of subclasses of juxtaglomerular neurons, both dopaminergic and vasopressinergic
