Brain and behavior are inextricably linked in neuroscience. The function of the brain is to govern behavior, and the aim of this course is to causally link biophysical mechanisms with simple behaviors studied in mice. The brain processes information through the concerted activity of many neurons, which communicate with each other through synapses organised in highly dynamic networks. The first goal of the course is to gain a detailed understanding of the structure and function of the fundamental building blocks of the mammalian brain, its synapses and neurons. The second goal is to understand neuronal networks, with specific emphasis on the interactions of excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic neurons. The third goal is to place neuronal network function in the context of sensory processing ultimately leading to behavioral decisions and motor output.

This course aims to provide a detailed understanding of the structure and function of the mammalian brain, its synapses and neurons, and to understand neuronal networks and their interactions with excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic neurons. It also seeks to place neuronal network function in the context of sensory processing and behavioral decisions.
Possible Development Paths: Learners of this course can develop their knowledge and skills in neuroscience, biophysics, and related fields. They can also pursue further studies in neuroscience, biophysics, and related fields, such as cognitive science, psychology, and computer science.
Learning Suggestions: Learners should supplement their studies with related subjects, such as anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. They should also read up on the latest research in neuroscience and biophysics, and attend seminars and conferences related to the field. Additionally, they should practice problem-solving and critical thinking skills to better understand the material.
