Course manual 2016/2017
Course content
- Neurophysiology basics & techniques: electrophysiology (intracellular recordings; single, multi-unit, and population extracellular recordings), cellular imaging (two-photon), neurophysiology (population coding, brain rhythms, place fields), optogenetics
- Clinical neurophysiology: neuroimaging, nuclear medicine, neurology
- Advanced cognitive neurobiology: consciousness and perception, multisensory integration, oscillatory networks, human invasive electrophysiology
- Additional clinical lectures
Study materials
Literature
- Kandel, E.R. et al., Principles of Neural Science, Fifth Edition, McGraw-Hill
Other
- Lecturers will provide most of the study materials.
Objectives
The course will combine in-depth lectures and practical components to provide students with knowledge and skills about neurobiological and neurophisiological mechanisms of cognition and cognition-related brain disorders, and of the related neural techniques.
After this course, students will be able to:
- Understand and explain in brain systems function, neural mechanisms of cognition and cognition-related brain disorders
- Describe and use neural techniques, mainly to measure and manipulate neural activity directly and with high spatio-temporal resolution
- Apply methodologies for the quantification of neural data & statistics
- Critically evaluate results and interpret neural data
- Interpret specialized neuroscientific literature
- Defend their answers, results and opinions in discussion/debating sessions
Teaching methods
- Lectures on Neurophysiology basics & techniques
- Home work assignments & return sessions
- Anatomy practicals (human & animal)
- Course part @ AMC: lectures and practicals on clinical neurophysiology
- Lectures on Advanced Cognitive Neurobiology

Fraud and plagiarism
Dit vak hanteert de algemene ‘Fraude- en plagiaatregeling’ van de UvA. Onder plagiaat of fraude wordt verstaan het overschrijven van het werk van een medestudent dan wel het kopiëren van wetenschappelijke bronnen (uit bijvoorbeeld boeken en tijdschriften en van het Internet) zonder daarbij de bron te vermelden. Uiteraard is plagiaat verboden. Hier wordt nauwkeurig op gecontroleerd en streng tegen opgetreden. Bij verdenking van plagiaat wordt de examencommissie van de opleiding ingeschakeld. Wanneer de examencommissie overtuigd is dat er plagiaat gepleegd is dan kan dit maximaal leiden tot een uitsluiting van al het onderwijs van de opleiding voor een heel kalenderjaar. Zie voor meer
informatie over het fraude- en plagiaatreglement van de Universiteit van Amsterdam.www.uva.nl/plagiaat

Prerequisites: Basic neurophysiology
The maximum number of students is 25. Admission to the course will depend on the capacity, the total number of applications, the date of registration and background of the individual student. If the number of applications exceeds the capacity of the course, student may have to be selected and priority will be given, in the following order:
- first-year students of the track Cognitive Neurobiology and Clinical Neurophysiology
- second-year students of the track Cognitive Neurobiology and Clinical Neurophysiology
- master students of the tracks Psychopharmacology & Pathophysiology or Basic and Applied Neuroscience
- master students of other programs
