About the Program

The primary objective of the course of study is the interdisciplinary advancement of young researchers in neurosciences. In the rapidly changing field of neurobiology, the danger of premature specialisation of young scientists and the loss of an interdisciplinary approach is particularly acute, and they must receive solid training in general neurobiology. For this reason, the curriculum must be broad in both content and methodology in order to acquaint students with the many aspects of systems neuroscience, while the emphasis must remain specifically on basic knowledge. Excessively specialised coursework should be avoided, so that classes are of interest to all students. The linkage of theoretical and clinical sciences is to be achieved in courses taught jointly by professors from theoretical and clinical disciplines. The training course is designed to allow students to set up an individualised course of study from the catalogue of required and elective courses on offer. Of particular importance are the interdisciplinary nature of the programme and the integration of basic and applied neurosciences, as reflected in the variety of disciplines represented by members of the ZSN (Zentrum für Systemische Neurowissenschaften - Center for Systems Neuroscience). Courses covering the following subjects are offered: Basics of cellular and molecular neuroscience Sensory systems (auditory, olfactory, and visual) Cognitive and behavioural systems Limbic systems Motor systems Systems neuroscience: clinical applications Plus: basics of biometrics, biophysics, animal welfare, etc.
