About

About the course

Course content

The course will give a general introduction to brain metabolism with focus on interactions between neurons and astrocytes. These interactions are studied in cell cultures and animal models of neurological and psychiatric disorders. In-debth knowledge of NMR theory is not required, since the course emphasizes practical use in neuroscience.Theories and results of other related methods are introduced.

Learning outcome

To provide insight into brain metabolism studied by 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and other related methods of brain research
