Contents

From [BIO-ZOO-01-K-5] Lecture and Reading Course - Neural Development:
− The students will hear introductory and summary lectures, read research and review papers, and discuss within the group and with the teacher current topics of neuronal development.

− Topics include e.g. nervous system formation, wiring of the nervous system, formation of neuronal circuits, animal behavior, modern methods in neurobiology.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

☒Professional competence:

− Overview of the principles underlying neuronal development.

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

− 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.

− Critical evaluation of current research data.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

On successfully completing the module students will be able to…

− improve their knowledge in the field of neural development.

− read and understand specialist English literature (research papers and reviews).

− summarize and discuss orally research papers.
