| 376-0202-00L | Neural Control of Movement and Motor Learning | W | 4 credits | 3G | N. Wenderoth | |
| Abstract | This course extends the students' knowledge regarding the neural control of movement and motor learning. Particular emphasis will be put on those methods and experimental findings that have shaped current knowledge of this area. | |||||
| Learning objective | Knowledge of the physiological and anatomic basis underlying the neural control of movement and motor learning. One central element is that students have first hands-on experience in the lab where small experiments are independently executed, analysed and interpreted. | |||||
| 376-1306-00L | Clinical Neuroscience | W | 3 credits | 3G | G. Schratt, University lecturers | |
| Abstract | The lecture series "Clinical Neuroscience" presents a comprehensive, condensed overview of the most important neurological diseases, their clinical presentation, diagnosis, therapy options and possible causes. Patient demonstrations (Übungen) follow every lecture that is dedicated to a particular disease. | |||||
| Learning objective | By the end of this module students should be able to: - demonstrate their understanding and deep knowledge concerning the main neurological diseases - identify and explain the different clinical presentation of these diseases, the methodology of diagnosis and the current therapies available - summarize and critically review scientific literature efficiently and effectively | |||||
| 551-0326-00L | Cell Biology | W | 6 credits | 4V | S. Werner, M. Bordoli, R. Henneberger, W. Kovacs, M. Schäfer, U. Suter, A. Wutz | |
| Abstract | This Course introduces principle concepts, techniques, and experimental strategies used in modern Cell Biology. Major topics include: neuron-glia interactions in health and disease; mitochondrial dynamics; stem cell biology; growth factor action in development, tissue repair and disease; cell metabolism, in particular sensing and signaling mechanisms, cell organelles, and lipid metabolism. | |||||
| Learning objective | -To prepare the students for successful and efficient lab work by learning how to ask the right questions and to use the appropriate techniques in a research project. -To convey knowledge about neuron-glia interactions in health and disease. - To provide information on different types of stem cells and their function in health and disease -To provide information on growth factor signaling in development, repair and disease and on the use of growth factors or their receptors as drug targets for major human diseases -To convey knowledge on the mechanisms underlying repair of injured tissues -To provide the students with an overview of mitochondrial dynamics. -Providing an understanding of RNA processing reactions and their regulations. -To provide a comprehensive understanding of metabolic sensing mechanisms occurring in different cell types and organelles in response to glucose, hormones, oxygen, nutrients as well as lipids, and to discuss downstream signaling pathways and cellular responses. -To provide models explaining how disturbances in complex metabolic control networks and bioenergetics can lead to disease and to highlight latest experimental approaches to uncover the intricacies of metabolic control at the cellular and organismal level. -Providing the background and context that foster cross-disciplinary scientific thinking. | |||||
