| 376-1305-01L | Structure, Plasticity and Repair of the Nervous System  | 3 credits | 2V | M. E. Schwab, L. Filli, K. A. Martin, further lecturers | |
| Abstract | The course covers the structure, plasticity and regeneration of the adult nervous system (NS) with focus on: sensory systems, cognitive functions, learning and memory, molecular and cellular mechanisms, animal models, and diseases of the NS. | ||||
| Learning objective | The aim is to give a deepened insight into the structure, plasticity and regeneration of the nervous system based on molecular, cellular and biochemical approaches. | ||||
| Content | The main focus is on the structure, plasticity and regeneration of the NS: biology of the adult nervous system; structural plasticity of the adult nervous system, regeneration and repair: networks and nerve fibers, regeneration, pathological loss of cells. | ||||
