We offer several courses on basic and advanced topics in Neurobiology and Behavior including the development and degeneration of the nervous system, the structure and function of neural circuits across model systems, the molecular neurogenetic analysis of synaptic plasticity and behavior in Drosophila, and a course on the neural basis of social communication and behavior in vertebrates.

The Master’s courses in Neurobiology offer students a comprehensive and diverse education in the broad field of neurobiology and behavior. The program covers a wide range of topics, from developmental processes and neurogenetic principles to physiological mechanisms including memory formation and the physiological functions of sleep, and neuroethological studies, like vocal communication and navigation. A strong emphasis is placed on practical approaches, providing hands-on experience with a variety of molecular, cellular, and behavioral experiments. Students gain valuable insights through research and experiments using different model organisms, including mice, birds, and fruit flies, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of neurobiological concepts and techniques.
