| Kursens syfte | We are organizing a course in neuropsychopharmacology for graduate students who are interested in clinical and preclinical research in affective disorders, schizophrenia, drug dependence, and anxiety-related disorders. The purpose of this course is to highlight these psychiatric disorders, summarize current treatment strategies (e.g. pharmacological and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)), and to discuss new ideas and future research ambitions within this field. |
| Kursens lärandemål | By the end of this course the PhD students should:
1) have achieved an understanding of the etiology of psychiatric disorders and are able to account for different hypotheses in this field and how the major psychiatric diseases are treated. 2) possess skills and abilities to describe, discuss, understand as well as choosing appropriate methods and animal models for studying the effects of drugs on different symptoms of psychiatric diseases. 3) be able to evaluate data and preclinical research within the research fields of psychiatric diseases. |
| Kursens innehåll | This course will focus on pharmacological strategies in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, e.g. schizophrenia, major depression etc. The course will also discuss methods and models which are used in preclinical research concerning the mechanisms of action of different drugs in the treatment of these disorders. |
| Arbetsformer | The pedagogic framing of the course include lectures given by invited clinicians and researchers within the field of psychiatric disorders. We will also have demonstrations of key models/methods which are used in specific research projects. |
| Obligatoriska moment | The demonstrations are mandatory. The student has to compensate absense from this part with a written description of the model/method. |
| Examination | Written exam. |
