Aim

The goal of Neuronal Circuits and Behavior Courses is to provide an integrated view on the function of neuronal circuits and their dysfunction in neuropsychiatric and developmental disorders and their relation to behavior. Topics include brain function and brain-related diseases and methods to study neuronal circuits, such as electrophysiology, optogenetic, and imaging techniques.
