Abstract	This course connects the clinical reality of common neuropsychiatric diseases to the underlying brain circuits, and the associated basic research into disease mechanisms.
Learning objective	By the end of the course, students will be able to explain how changes in fundamental brain processes can give rise to neuropsychiatric disease. They will have an understanding of the clinical reality of diagnosing and treating such disorders, and be able to design and evaluate basic research approaches to address clinical needs.
Content	This course evaluates the clinical and basic research aspects for some of the most vexing neuropsychiatric disorder, including affective disorders (anxiety and depression), Alzheimer’s Disease, Addiction, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Stress-related disease. Each disorder is presented from a clinician in one lecture, and from a basic researcher in a corresponding lecture. The students will actively design a research project to bridge the gap from laboratory bench to patient bedside.

Abstract	Introduction into our research and hands-on work in actual research projects. The goal is to encourage independent scientific thinking and to translate theoretical knowledge into practical experiments. The course also includes reading of original articles and presentation of the work done.
Learning objective	Hands-on work in actual research projects to encourage independent scientific thinking and translation of theoretical knowledge into practical experiments. Further goals are reading and interpretation of original literature and presentation of ones work.
Content	Introduction into our research and collaboration in actual research projects. The goal is to encourage independent scientific thinking and to translate theoretical knowledge into practical experiments. The paradigms include in vivo experiments with rats and/or mice. Next to behavioral studies also histological and anatomical analyses are done. The course includes reading of original articles and presentation of the work done.
Lecture notes	Original articles will be handed out and discussed during the course.
Literature	Original articles will be handed out and discussed during the course.
