Introduction into our research and hands-on work in actual research projects. The goal is to encourage independent scientific thinking and to translate theoretical knowledge into practical experiments. The course also includes reading of original articles and presentation of the work done.

This course connects the clinical reality of common neuropsychiatric diseases to the underlying brain circuits, and explores how basic research helps to identify disease mechanisms and treatments. In a flipped-classroom setting, project teams will explore the interplay between basic research and clinical needs based on existing treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders.
