International opportunities for students

Presentation 

The FBN track is devised for students fascinated by the complexity of animal cognition and the neurobiological basis behind it. 
We welcome, in particular, students with backgrounds in psychology or biology, but also students with other backgrounds (e.g., physics, engineering, philosophy, etc.) who are eager to learn about animals’ brains and behaviours.
 
The FBN track offers a range of theoretical courses in basic and advanced neurobiology and neuroscience in a range of healthy animals and animal models of clinical conditions (e.g., rodents, birds, fish and invertebrates). 
The core disciplines of the courses include animal cognition and neuroscience, as well as typical and atypical brain development
The FBN track trains students to combine behavioural, physiological and molecular biology in animals of different species to unveil the neural underpinnings of basic sensory and cognitive functions with a comparative perspective. 
Within our state-of-the-art laboratories, we offer a set of hands-on courses in fundamental behavioural neuroscience data recordings and analyses. 

This track prepares students to pursue a research-oriented career in fundamental cognitive and behavioural neuroscience, whether in academia or industry.
