Details of the examination (type, duration, criteria) will be announced at the beginning of the course.

− Students will hear introductory and summary lectures, read research and review papers, and discuss within the group and with the teacher current topics of neural networks.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

☒Professional competence:

− Overview of the principles underlying the development and function of neuronal networks.

− Students will evaluate, discuss and compare a variety of experimental strategies, model systems and experimental methods used to advance our understanding of neuronal networks.

− Topics will be explored both in breath and in depth using a combination of text books, reviews and original research papers.

− Students will learn to critically evaluate scientific literature.

☐Methodological competence: ---

☒Social competence:

− Learning to discuss scientific issues with other students and the teacher and explaining complex concepts.

− Learning to simplify complicated topics and ideas and to identify their key aspects.

☒Self-competence:

− Acquirement of scientific knowledge by self-responsible reading of English research literature, and identifying points that require further explanation.
