Despite considerable progress in clinical and basic neuroscience, the etiology and molecular mechanisms of mental disorders are still poorly understood. In this lecture we present different approaches to study certain psychiatric disorders at the level of animal neurobiology.

Das, Hartmann

To be announced

We will give an overview of neuopaediatric and (neuro-) metabolic disorders in childhood and beyond. This will include pathophysiology, clinical sympotoms, diagnosis and treatment of selected disorders.

Berding (coordination) and colleagues

Tue 21.10.25 - Tue 20.01.26, 17:00 - 18:00

THIS ELECTIVE PROVIDES A UNIQUE OVERVIEW OF BRAIN DISEASES FROM A CLINICAL AND IMAGING PERSPECTIVE AND IS THEREFORE A CLEAR ASSET FOR ALL STUDENTS WORKING IN NEUROSCIENCE
Lectures by clinical experts will cover the pathophysiology and clinical appearance of disorders in which nuclear medicine methods can contribute to the diagnostic work up.
In particular the following conditions will be addressed:
? CNS tumours
? Movement Disorders and dementia
? Metabolic brain diseases
? Schizophrenia
? Tourette syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder
? Central hearing disorders
Aspects related to imaging will be presented by natural scientists and encompass:
? Imaging devices (SPECT/CT, PET/CT) and software tools for data analysis
? Production of radiopharmaceuticals
? Preclinical (animal) imaging
Clinical cases and corresponding imaging results will be demonstrated. Studies in animal models of disease will be presented. Finally, the participants will have the opportunity to visit the human PET centre, the radiochemistry unit and the preclinical imaging lab of the MHH and to obtain preliminary hands-on experience using specific software tools for the analysis of neuroimaging data.
Workload: The best overview can be obtained with participation in most of the lectures. Supervisors of the participants? PhD theses should agree to this.
Course slides can be provided ? allowing specific preparation/reading, if interested.
Additionally, short visits to the nuclear medicine department are possible, for
seeing/participating in patient anamnesis, informed consent, preparation before imaging, data
acquisition and analysis, reporting to referring physician.

Fri 17.10.25 - Fri 30.01.26, 11:45 - 13:15

This seminar focuses on actual results of studies investigating the neurobiological foundations of music perception and music production in general. Literature will be critically reviewed and laboratory results will be discussed.

Richter Assêncio

To be announced

About once per month we discuss with the PhD students of the Inst. for Pharmacology diverse scientific topics such as grant applications, career plans, statistics, how to improve social skills, how to apply for jobs, assessment centers, successful search of scientific literature, how to present data at meetings, etc.
