Faglig innhold
The course is divided into a sensory part and a motor part. The sensory part describes the signaling events of animal sensory systems, including detection and transduction of signal, as well as propagation, processing and coding of these signals in the peripheral and the central nervous system. The motor part describes the signaling events of animal motor systems, including planning and execution of movement.
Throughout the course, we will discuss pathological conditions whereby dysfunction in specific neuronal circuits leads to perceptual deficits and/or movement disorders. Basic principles of neuroanatomy and neurodevelopment will also be discussed. Finally, we will discuss current techniques used to study sensory and motor neuroscience.
Læringsutbytte
After completing and passing the NEVR3002 course, students will achieve the following learning outcomes:
Knowledge
- Exhibit a comprehensive understanding of sensory and motor systems.
- Demonstrate specialized knowledge of concepts on systems-level organization.
- Communicate a thorough understanding of the neural signaling mechanisms underlying sensorimotor processing of all modalities.
- Apply critical thinking to understanding dysfunction and diseases involving sensory and motor systems.
Skills
- Understand scientific literature related to Systems Neuroscience.
- Communicate with clarity concepts related to sensory processing and motor control.
- Conceive an experimental design to solve problem related to sensory and motor systems choosing the adequate techniques.
General competence
- Competence in analyzing relevant literature on sensory and motor systems and put it into a broader context.
- Competence in critical thinking to understand dysfunctions of sensory and motor systems based on the knowledge acquired in the course.
- Competence in understanding the cognitive and computational implications of sensory processing and motor control that are the subject of courses of the second semester
Læringsformer og aktiviteter
The course is taught in the autumn semester with a final examination in December.
The language of teaching and examination is English.
The course consists of a series of in person lectures covering the learning outcomes. The course coordinator will organize not mandatory in person sessions for answering questions throughout the duration of the course.
Mer om vurdering
Regular final examination is given in the autumn semester only. Students with legitimate leave of absence at the final examination and students who receive the grade F may take a re-sit examination in the spring semester. In case of only a few candidates, the re-sit examination may be conducted as an oral examination.
Anbefalte forkunnskaper
We recommend that NEVR3001 (Cellular and Systems Neuroscience) is taken in parallel with NEVR3002. Students will also benefit from taking NEVR3000 (Literacy in Science), as it will provide an opportunity to develop literacy skills that are relevant for the compulsory assignment of this course. We highly recommend that the students take the Neuroscience master's courses in sequence (NEVR3000, NEVR3001/NEVR3002, NEVR3003, NEVR3004), as they build upon each other.
General cellular biology and animal physiology. NEVR2010 (Introduction to Neuroscience) or equivalent background
Forkunnskapskrav
This course has restricted admission. Students admitted to the MSc in Neuroscience are guaranteed a seat. Other students must apply for a seat by the given deadlines.
Kursmateriell
Reading materials (textbook chapters and scientific papers) that supplement each lecture will be listed on the course syllabus and will be made available to students electronically at the start of the term.
