Tematika

In addition to cardiovascular disease, brain disease imposes a significant burden on both the individual and society, and research into these is essential both for a better understanding of the processes and for seeking new pathways to healing. During the course, students will be introduced to the animal models used in the research (rodents, zebra finches), the latest results of research on our visual system, our largest information processing body, various aspects of learning and the interaction of metabolism and brain. The lectures, without being exhaustive, provide a glimpse into university research.
