This course is designed to cover diverse topics in systems neurobiology. Hear about : signal processing and cortical encoding of sensory information (auditory, mechanical, olfactory and visual systems), new and exciting ideas on the role of the cerebellum, Alzheimer disease and decision making processes. These themes will be breached and illustrated in a wide range of models used in modern day neurosciences (drosophila, nematodes, rodents, and primates including humans).
The
teaching unit is composed of lectures (35h) and directed studies sessions (10h)
that are designed to complement the themes covered in the lectures. Directed
studies sessions are devoted to the analysis of scientific articles, and can
take different forms ranging from a small-group presentations to a collective
analysis and round-table discussion. A major goal of the directed studies
sessions is to adopt and practice a critical thinking approach to scientific
reading. The oral component of these sessions will contribute to the
development and fine-tuning of scientific communication skills through
collective and participative discussions.
