Biomedical Sciences: Neurobiology
Do you have a keen interest in understanding your brain and its underlying workings? Or is it your ambition to become a neuroscientist? Then join this minor. No prerequisite knowledge required, apart from the will to drive your brain along the intricate paths of neurobiology.
You will discover exciting new knowledge about neuroscience research from renowned neuroscientists on development and neurotransmission and from neurons via networks to cognition and behaviour. In the process you will develop skills in the neuroanatomy, axon physiology, EEG and network modelling practicals and workgroups. In addition your presentation and critical and creative thinking skills will be trained. All in all, this minor will guide your development into an all-round neuroscientist, ready for any Master in neuroscience and beyond! The minor Biomedical sciences: Neurobiology consists of three separate but interconnected courses.
