Behavioral neuroscience unravels the functioning of the brain in relation to the subjects behavior. It is a broad research field that covers both animal and human studies and ranges biological to pathophysiological situations. Memory is one of the key functions in cognition. In this course we will discuss different types of memory (spatial, emotional) and how memories become long lasting. Especially the role of sleep will be discussed. In addition to the lectures, there will be case-based tutorials for more in depth understanding of the scientific process.
Students will have to design a project within the topic of memory consolidation and the course grade will be determined by the written project proposal (4 pages, 50% grade) and the project presentation (5 min, 50% grade). |
