Contents

From [BIO-HUM-07-K-5] Lecture and Reading Course - Neural Function:
− The students will hear introductory and summary lectures, read research and review papers, and discuss together and with the teacher the following topics: Neural Function: Neuronal morphology, intraneuronal sorting, Neurotransmitter release, Modulation of synaptic transmission; Molecular basis of Neurodegenerative Diseases, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson Disease, Morbus Huntington, …

Competencies / intended learning achievements

☒Professional competence:

− Overview of neuronal structure and synaptic transmission, which is central for understanding of brain function and behavior.

− Understanding the molecular basis of human diseases and to evaluate them critically.

− Gaining the ability to extending these concepts to other related diseases.

− Learn to develop novel pharmacological strategies.

− Reading and interpreting current research papers and reviews about this topic, and understanding methodological approaches used.

☐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.
