Lecture 1 - Introduction
What is Integrative Neuroscience?
From molecules to behavior – Integration of different levels of analysis
The output of the brain is the behaviour – we need to understand how physiological processes in the
brain generate behavior
What animal models?
- Neurotransmitter, receptors, kinases, phosphatases etc. are mostly highly conserved
- There is a high number of homologous genes between C. elegans and humans
- The loer the aial odel, the ore iasie/geetic approaches are possible (and the
cheaper the animal model)...but the less it might be applicable to humans/primates
- Genetic models: C. elegans, Drosophila, Zebrafish, Mouse
- Circuitry models: Aplysia, Crab, Fish, Mouse/Rat
