Modulinhalte
The lecture "Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience" gives a short introduction into neuroanatomy and cognitive neuroscience methods and then covers different cognitive functions. Lecture topics: History of cognitive neuroscience Methods of cognitive neuroscience Attention Learning Emotion Language Executive functions. The supervised excersise either deepens that knowledge by excersises or discussions of recent papers/ talks on the respective topic covered during that week. The lecture "Psychopharmacology" illustrates the connection between neurotransmitters and behaviour and its links to psychiatric disease.The lecture contains several interactive parts to consolidate and critically evaluate the acquired knowledge. Lecture topics: Introduction to Terms and Definitions in Drug Research Dopaminergic and Noradrenergic System Cholinergic and Serotonergic System GABAergic and Glutamatergic System Addiction Depression Schizophrenia Anxiety Alzheimer's Disease
