Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of the Laboratory Rotation course is to learn the experimental methods of Neurophysiology, Brain stimulation methods, Imaging Systems and Cell Culture in practice. Laboratory Safety and Biological Safety Training is given in Laboratory Rotation first courses.

Course Content:

This course aims to provide students from different disciplines with laboratory skills in order to adapt to the research areas of Neurophysiology, brain stimulation methods, imaging methods, molecular biology and genetics before the master's thesis study, to learn brain electrical potentials recording, analysis, brain stimulation methods in Neurophysiology laboratory. To learn the basic principles of cell culture, primary cell culture, passaging and freezing techniques of cells.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Laboratory Rotation course is given to postgraduate graduate students. Laboratory Safety and Biological Safety Training is given in the first courses of Laboratory Rotation. Students learn experimental methods in different laboratories at different time intervals according to the functioning of the laboratory. They prepare a Research and Application notebook for each laboratory. These notebooks are evaluated and signed by the Laboratory Supervisor Instructor at the end of each Laboratory. The Course Supervisor meets with each Laboratory Supervisor Lecturer, and Midterm and Final Grades are given by examining the Research and Application notebook prepared by the students and the status of the students in each course. Course attendance is compulsory.
