Modulinhalte
The module focuses on auditory neuroscience, molecular and cellular neurobiology.

Lecture:
Development, anatomy and function of the auditory system (cochlea to cortex), classification, molecular causes and inheritance of auditory disorders, investigation of these disorders in animal models, insights into possibilities of treatment/therapy

Seminar:
The seminar will focus on possibilities of treatment options in the field of auditory rehabilitation. In a flipped classroom, students will shortly present and discuss different approaches.

Exercise:
Laboratory experiments to study mouse models of deafness/auditory processing disorders
