Modulinhalte | One week introductory block course, comprised of a lecture series and matching seminar that emphasizes discussion. Topics: Hair cells: structure, transduction mechanism, receptor potential, synaptic transmission Basilar papilla / cochlea: structure, micromechanics, amplification; otoacoustic emissions Auditory nerve: phase locking, rate coding. Excitation patterns Ascending auditory pathways: wiring, principles of excitation/inhibition, examples of cellular/molecular specialisations Sound localisation in birds and mammals Central auditory processing: imaging techniques, auditory streams, cortex, primates Relation between psychophysics and neurophysiology The introductory block is followed by a supervised literature search and individually written term paper on a specific topic in auditory neuroscience. |
