1. What are the implications of early brain patterning for the organization of the adultbrain?
2. How do neural stem cells contribute to the formation of neurons and glial cells
during brain development?
3. What are central pattern generators (CPGs) and how do they contribute to locomotor
control?
4. How do spinal CPGs generate basic motor patterns for locomotion?
5. What are the roles of the motor cortex and basal ganglia in controlling locomotion?
6. How do defects in basal ganglia function lead to movement disorders like Parkinson's
and Huntington's disease?
7. What are the advantages of using transparent models like C. elegans and zebrafish
for studying sensorimotor integration?
8. How do barn owls use their sense of hearing to locate prey, and how is this process
calibrated by the visual system?
9. What cellular and neural structures allow barn owls to strike with remarkable
accuracy in almost complete darkness?
10. How do different forms of locomotion depend on the somatic and central motor
systems?
11. What are central pattern generators (CPGs) and how do they contribute to
generating basic motor patterns for locomotion?
12. What are the differences between early and late long-term potentiation (LTP) in the
context of memory formation?
13. How does optogenetics revolutionize neuroscience research, and what are its
limitations?
14. What are the neural mechanisms underlying pain responses and somatosensory
plasticity following injury?
15. How do animals use chemical information for communication, prey detection, and
social behaviors?
16. How do the hormonal systems of vasopressin and oxytocin influence social behaviors
and social odor recognition?
17. What brain structures are involved in different forms of memory, and how are they
affected by injury or disease?
18. What are the fundamental spatial processes involved in computing knowledge of
position, orientation, and environment layout?
19. What are the neural circuits involved in fear responses and fear memories?
20. How do dynamic interactions between neuronal cells contribute to the development
and function of the myelin sheath?
21. What is synaptome mapping technology, and how does it contribute to our
understanding of excitatory synapse diversity and architecture in the brain?
