This course aims to give graduate students an overview and grounding in the fundamentals of neuroscience. The main emphasis is on the cellular and molecular aspects of brain function and how this pertains to specific neurological conditions and/or disorders.

Students will experience the unique Advanced Case Study Coffee Chats (ACSCC), where complex case studies and experimental design challenges will be tackled in collaborative, engaging sessions as a part of the course.

The lecturers, all experts in their respective topics, are drawn from the different University departments and associated research institutes. Each year the course is updated to reflect the rapid evolution of ideas in neuroscience.
