Learning Goals Systems Neuroscience:

  • Student can critically read and discuss primary scientific literature
  • Student can formulate critical questions about primary scientific literature
  • Student understands and can explain concepts in the field of ‘systems neuroscience’
  • Student understands the concepts 'circular analysis', ‘ double dipping’, ‘wrong selection criteria’ and can apply these concepts on primary scientific literature in the neurosciences
  • Student can shortly describe the essential findings after a presentation by a top-scientist in systems neuroscience and can summarize the talk in a short essay
  • Student can present recent findings from primary literature in a presentation for fellow students
  • Student can ask critical questions during presentations of fellow students or lecturers
Inhoud

Series of lectures on Systems Neuroscience that go beyond basic (bachelor) knowledge. Students will be asked to read background (primary) literature and prepare and answer questions. Emphasis will be on multi-disciplinary approaches.

Bijzonderheden
Important note: This is a full-time course. In this course you will get a lot of assignments. Past years have shown that it is not possible to follow the course when you have too many other obligations. Contact person: Prof. Dr. Richard van Wezel, r.j.a.vanwezel@donders.ru.nl
