Consolidation of practical work in the lab with theory and literature background. Integraion of the students in ongoing research projects in the field of neuromorphology (regeneration and plasticity of the nervous system, molekular mechanisms of axonal growth, neural stem cells) and molecular cognition (genetic mouse models, molekular and cellular mechanisms of learning and memory).

This course complements the course “Neural computation”. It focuses on the computations performed by neural populations to achieve specific motor and cognitive tasks.
