Behavioural Neurosciences

Learning objectives - location of place and grid cells - function and features of place and grid cells (see last slide) - one place cell gets input from circa 100 grid cells - the meaning of a “cognitive map” - aging in relation to place cells - 3D place fields and place cells - functional link between place and grid cells - the hexagonal shape (EUREKA moment) - size of modules of grid cells - episodic memory and place cells - link between grid and place cells and Alzheimer’s ...

Learning objectives - misconceptions - 4 brain lobes + gyrus, sulcus, fissure - phrenology (what is it) - ventricular system - brain scanning methods - terminology anatomy - white matter / grey matter + general structure neurons - different types of brain cells + function - how CSF flows through the brain - neurophilosophy (what is it) - Nissl and Golgi stainings (what is the difference) - How to optimize your L&M performance (4 tips)

Learning objectives - Why knowledge of signal transduction is important - principles of the resting membrane potential - principles of action potentials - action potentials in aged neurons - mode of action of lidocaine and cocaine - gap junctions: shape and function - the chemical synapse - classic neurotransmitters and neuropeptides - transmitter release mechanism - the neuromuscular synapse - freeze-etching method and transmitter release mechanism - role of clathrine - classific...

Learning objectives - Organization of primitive brains - evolution of “large brains” - relationship between the brain and energy - storage of fat and the brain - our brain is shrinking, but PFC and cerebellum increase - relationship white matter / grey matter - features of neuronal networks - spine density and functionality - spines and mental health - complexity of the brain - most common cause of stroke - 4 central brain systems (ascending systems; modulatory systems) - h...
