| Purpose of the course | 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. |
| Intended learning outcomes | 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. |
| Contents of the course | 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. |
| Teaching and learning activities | Lectures, seminars and practical group work in the dissection room. |
| Compulsory elements | 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. |
| Literature and other teaching material | Recommended literature will be supplied in the form of scientific articles. An atlas of neuroanatomy is also recommended.
