Comments
The goal of the module is to acquire a broad spectrum of knowledge about genetics, molecular biology, physiology and neurogenetics using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. The course also has a strong focus on a variety of molecular and behavioral approaches.
Contents:
Genetic toolbox: P-elements, mutagenesis, Gal4-UAS system, RNAi techniques, CRISPR/Cas9 system;
Experimental approaches: electrophysiology, super resolution microscopy, behavior (learning and locomotion), genomic PCR, dissection of larval fruit fly filets and adult brains, immunostaining with specific antibodies;
Scientific topics: synaptic principle processing and encoding, including for sleep and memory, behavior.
