Kursens syfte This course aims to provide a basis in cognitive neuroscience and the neuroanatomy that supports it. The course will enable participants to get a good understanding of how the brain makes decisions, forms long term memories and handles emotions.
Kursens lärandemål After the course the students should be able:
to describe the field of cognitive neuroscience
to explain how the brain can make decisions, form lasting memories and compute emotional states.
to show where in the brain and by which structures these different functions are controlled.
Kursens innehåll The course consists of theoretical sessions and practical work related to decision-making, memory formation and emotion. It will also include the neuroanatomy related to these functions using both MRI and human brains. The participants will be actively involved in group work dealing with practical and theoretical aspects of cognitive neuroanatomy.
Arbetsformer Lectures, seminars and practical group work in the dissection room.
Obligatoriska moment Lectures, seminars, group work in the dissection room and the final exam are obligatory. To compensate for absence participants will be given individual tasks that involve the respective theoretical or practical item missed.
Examination Practical exam on neuroanatomy and oral presentation for the theoretical part.
Kurslitteratur och övriga läromedel Recommended literature will be supplied in the form of scientific articles. An atlas of neuroanatomy is also recommended.

Antal studenter 8 - 40
Urval av studenter Selection will be based on 1) the relevance of the course syllabus for the applicant’s doctoral project (according to written motivation), 2) start date of doctoral studies (priority given to earlier start date)
Övrig information The course has a combination of labs in the anatomy department and lectures at Biomedicum. The course is quite intense and requires full time studies.
