Research Master Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences
Are you interested in the basis of consciousness, the mechanisms of learning, the genetics of behaviour or the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration? In this program you study the brain, cognition and behaviour from different perspectives. Ben je geïnteresseerd in de grondslag van het bewustzijn, het mechanisme van leren, de genetica van gedrag of het moleculaire mechanisme van neurodegeneratie? Dan zit je hier goed! Want tijdens de BCN research master leer je over het brein, cognitie en gedrag vanuit verschillende perspectieven. Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences

7
Track B: Animal and Human Behavioural Neuroscience
Focus on evolution, function, development and causation of behaviour Integration between physiology, neurobiology and behaviour. Coordinator: Prof. Anton Scheurink
8
Track B: Animal and Human Behavioural Neuroscience
Track-specific course units: B1. Timing of Behaviour B2. Function and Evolution of Behaviour B3. Neuroendocrine Basis of Behaviour B4. Individuality of Behaviour Timing of behaviour: meer inzicht ontwikkelen in het veld van de chronobiologie Function and Evolution of Behaviour: gedrag bekijken vanuit het oogpunt van evolutie Neuroendocrine: inzicht geven in het veld van de neuroendocrinologie en de relatie met de regulatie van gedrag Individuality: inzicht geven in individuele variatie van gedrag, omdat het niet de gemiddelde populatie is die een ziekte ontwikkeld, maar specifieke individuen onder specifieke omstandigheden. Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences
9
Track C: Cognitive neuroscience and cognitive modelling
Focuses on cognitive processing from psychological, neurological and modelling perspectives. Coordinator: Dr Mark Nieuwenstein
10
Track C: Cognitive neuroscience and cognitive modelling
Track-specific course units: C1: Models of Cognition C2: Functional Neuroscience C3: Repeated Measures C4: Elective course units: Cognitive Modelling Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience Models: studenten krijgen inzcht in de voor- en nadelen van verschillende theorien, zoals mathematische modellen om cognitie te verklaren en voorspellen Functional neuroscience: geeft een overzicht van de beschikbare methodes om hersenfunctie te meten en evalueren met colleges en practica waarin je zelf een fMRI experiment opzet Repeated: een statistische cursus op data van proefpersonen die meerdere keren op 1 of meer variabelen zijn getest. Cognitive modelling: hier ontwerp je een model aan de hand van verzamelde data Cognitive neuropsychiatry: in deze cursus krijg je meer informatie over psychische stoornissen zoals schizofrenie, autisme, depressie en meer Molecular and cellular neuroscience: in deze cursus leer je meer over de moleculaire biologie achter neuronale gen en eiwit regulatie
11
Track N: Molecular and Clinical Neuroscience
Focus on the molecular mechanisms and neuropathology underlying neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases, neuroinflammatory processes and stem cell biology. Coordinator: Dr Liesbeth Veenhoff
12
Track N: Molecular and Clinical Neuroscience
Track-specific course units: N1. Functional Neuroscience N2. Pathology of the Nervous System N3. Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience N4. Stem Cell and Glia Biology Functional neuroscience: meer inzicht in neurofysiologie en neuroanatomie en een practicum waarbij een eigen fMRI onderzoek wordt ontworpen en uitgevoerd Pathology: meer inzicht in de klinische en pathologische kenmerken van neurologische ziektes, zoals MS, Parkinson, Hersenbloedingen en dementie Molecular: in deze cursus leer je meer over de moleculaire biologie achter neuronale gen en eiwit regulatie Stem cell and glia biology: hier krijg je een overzicht van de ontwikkeling, fysiologie, en functie van alle niet-neurale cellen in het centrale zenuwstelsel Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences
