(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Molecular Neurophysiology)

Lehrveranstaltungen:

• • Molecular Neurophysiology
    (Übung, Anwesenheitspflicht, Andreas Feigenspan et al., jede Woche Mo-Fr, 8:00 - 18:00, 00.181 SR Tierphysiologie; vom 30.4.2018 bis zum 25.5.2018)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

none

Inhalt:

Lecture/Seminar
Theoretical and practical approaches including cell culture, transfection of cells and the investigation of ion channel function in heterologous expression systems using electrophysiological and imaging techniques will be taught. Students will present seminar talks based on current original research papers.

Laboratory course
The expression of an ion channel protein will be investigated from cloning of vectors and transfection of cells to functional studies using cell and molecular biology techniques, epifluorescence microscopy and patch-clamp recordings.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students

• know latest developments, concepts and experimental approaches in molecular neuroscience;

• are capable to present scientific research papers in a coherent and critical way;

• know important methods in cell and molecular biology as well as modern electrophysiological and imaging techniques;

• are capable of presenting and discussing data from experiments carried out independently.
