描述
Have you always wondered how your brain actually works? How cells can pass on information and how you actually register that food is salty or sweet? These questions, and many more, will be covered in the course 神经科学.
In this course comprises three parts:
1:大脑解剖
Here you will learn about various different parts of the central and peripheral nervous system. This part consists of lectures, a homework assignment where you work with a digital atlas of the human brain and two practicals in which you will dissect the human and calf brain. Finally, you can test your knowledge in a "power-repeat" quiz-based lecture.
2: Action potentials and synaptic transmission
In this part we will study brain function on the cellular level, how
neurons transmit information. You will learn how fundamental ions like
sodium and potassium carry much of our highly complex thoughts and
emotions and you will learn how signals between cells can be transmitted and modulated. Furthermore, you will record real action
potentials from the axon of a worm and here you can also test your
knowledge in a quiz-based "power-repeat".
3. Brain as part of the organism
The third part zooms out and couples brain function to everyday functions such as speaking, 看到, feeling pain or stress and your day-night cycle, 昼夜节律. You will learn in different lectures how the cellular principles of part 2 underlie complex behaviour that you experience everywhere around you.
联系 hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
