| 752-6303-00L | Neurobiology of Eating and Drinking  | 3 KP | 2G | D. Burdakov | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | What neurons make us eat or drink? The course offers a multidisciplinary perspective on how the brain generates appetite and consumption, including approaches from biology and psychology, and modern experimental paradigms such as optogenetics. It will focus on analysis of recent primary research papers illustrating a selection of fundamental discoveries in this field in the past few years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Explain how specific neural circuits control eating and drinking, including insights from multiple experimental paradigms with appreciation of their limitations and solutions to these limitations. Summarize detailed and specific primary research data into a more general picture, and communicate this process to a large audience in a clear way, including answering audience questions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | This is an advanced neurobiology course, which is based on advanced research literature (academic reviews and original research articles), rather than textbooks. Knowledge of basic ("textbook-level") neurobiology is required in order to follow this course. Students who had basic courses in neurobiology during their bachelor (e.g. Physiology and Anatomy 1 and 2 of the ETH Food Science bachelor) will be sufficiently prepared for this course. Students without any background in neurobiology may need to do additional independent study in order to follow the course, since not much time will be dedicated to repeating basic neurobiology information during this course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 752-6306-00L | Physiology and Anatomy II | 3 KP | 2V | D. Burdakov, D. Peleg-Raibstein | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Imparts an advanced understanding of physiology, focusing on the link between nutrition and function of the mammalian organism. This is fostered by discussing all subjects from a viewpoint of health and disease. A major topic of the lectures is the link between nutrition and brain function, including mental health and neurodegenerative disorders. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | At the end of the course, the students are able to describe, explain, and apply the biological and nutritional principles of physiology including specific examples relating to brain functions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Handouts for each topic will be made available on Moodle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
