Abstract

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).

Objective

Brain Research Institute: The students are integrated in ongoing and actual research projects. They do practical work (experiments), read background literature and discuss one project at the end by giving a talk.

Content

The content of the practica word is defined only shortly before the practical course starts and it is adjusted to ongoing research projects. The projects include a variety of in vitro (molecular biological, biochemical, cell biological) and in vivo (animal experiments) approaches.
