Participants receive basic and advanced knowledge of neurophysiology and information about relevant methods (e.g. evoked potentials, extra- / intracellular, patch clamp recordings). Properties of ion channels as well as cellular and network
properties of selected model systems (leech, goldfish, hippocampus) will be discussed.
Students will learn about CNS function on the levels of ion channels, cells and cellular networks. By the end of the module they will have gained the ability of neurophysiological data acquisition, analysis, interpretation and presentation. The
accompanying seminar will improve the understanding of information provided through lectures. This knowledge will be a prerequisite to successfully accomplish subsequent neurophysiological core course modules. Students should apply basic
knowledge of neurophysiology in behavioural and electrophysiological experiments and conduct basic microscopy. Students should analyse data and summarize them in written protocols.
