This unit consists of a series of formal lectures that bring together the material taught during MEDIM7001,7003 and 7004 & MEDIM0013 and MEDIM0014. Tutorials may be used to further increase the student’s understanding of the taught material. Emphasis will be on highlighting the integrative aspects of molecular neuroscience. Knowledge on the cross-talk between different biological levels of organisation and the importance of molecular neuroscience for health and disease will be further deepened.
The Aims of this unit are:
At the end of this unit:
Students will have a good knowledge of the connections between the different levels of biological organisation as taught during this module and will demonstrate a good insight into the importance of such connections for health and disease. Students will be able to develop and discuss new research strategies within the field of integrative molecular neuroscience.
This unit is taught through lectures. Tutorials may be used to further increase the student’s understanding of the taught material.
Selected relevant review papers from the literature.
