Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course departs from a well-established basis in Neuroscience, supplemented with knowledge about behavioral and cognitive neuroscience. The aim of the course will be to focus to connect different aggregate levels at which brain function can be studied: from single neurons, via circuits and networks, to behavior and cognition. Second, we focus on brain disorders: how are their symptoms manifested neurophysiologically, and which techniques can be used for treatment. These connections will be studied by relating single-neuron operations to activity at the mesoscopic level

Course Content:

• To recognize and identify the evolution human behavior
• To underline the importance of loss of cognitive function in an aging world
• To identify and discuss the opportunities presented by emerging treatment for diseases manifested by cognitive impairment
• To learn to approach the cognitive mental disorders
• To be informed on the psychological tests
