Topic: Adv mole, cell mech of addict

The major objective of this course is to introduce this paradigm shift in our knowledge on the molecular, cellular and circuit mechanisms of addiction. To achieve this objective, we will focus on some of the most exciting original discoveries of the field from the last three years. We will study recent scientific breakthroughs about the organization and functional logic of dopamine signaling in the context of addiction. We will learn about the progress in our understanding of how cannabis, opioids, ethanol, nicotine, psychostimulants and psychedelics act in the brain. We will discuss new advances on how neurodevelopmental insults, stress and genomic alterations contribute to substance use disorders. Finally, we will become familiar with a completely unexpected new treatment avenue for addiction that may have the potential to alter the current treatment landscape. The course will be provided in a seminar format. Students will be required to prepare for the classes with the help of mandatory reading materials. After a general introduction given by a student (Presentation), a scientific publication introducing a major new discovery will be discussed together in a journal club format (Class Activity). Students will learn about how the specific study aims to fill a major gap in our knowledge. The current state-of-the-art neuroscience methods will be introduced and explained. The data and the figures will be analyzed together in a rigorous manner. Finally, students will discuss whether the study accomplished its major objective, will evaluate potential limitations of the study and will propose the most important next steps for the specific research area.

Topic: Metacognition

The course focuses on understanding metacognition, the marvelous ability of humans to inspect, understand, and regulate their own cognition. How do we know what we do or do not know? How good are we at estimating the accuracy of our memories of the past? How about what we will remember or forget in the future? Can we use such knowledge to do better? The study of metacognition provides an answer to these and many more questions. In other words, metacognition is the path to better knowing yourself.

Topic: Neurophys basis brain disorder

This course will explore the functional basis of various brain disorders at cellular, synapse and circuit levels. There is an emphasis on the neurophysiological aspects of brain functions, the alteration of which leads to disorganized operation underlying clinical symptoms. Lectures will link basic neuroscience research with clinical observations aiming to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms modified in key neurological and psychiatric disorders. Examples of brain disorders that will be discussed include epilepsy, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, pain-related neurological symptoms.
