This course will provide the fundamental knowledge in neuroscience required to understand how the brain is organised and how function at multiple scales is integrated to give rise to cognition and behaviour. Interaction with the Blue Brain/Human Brain Project platforms will enable participants to consolidate learning while acquiring hands-on experience with data handling and in silico simulations.

Modern neuroscience is multidisciplinary and collaborative. We need to integrate knowledge of experimental and theoretical approaches to neuroscience, and look at the brain and brain function from different perspectives: for example, genes can partially explain differences in reading ability, but there is no single gene that makes someone a good or a poor reader. And genes can be turned on and off by external factors such as someone’s diet or a virus infection. So to understand something as complex as reading ability, we need to stitch together knowledge about the role of genes, proteins, cells, and large networks of cells.

We need to integrate knowledge of experimental and theoretical approaches to neuroscience, and look at the brain and brain function from different perspectives: for example, protein expression can partially explain differences in reading ability, but there is no single protein that makes someone a good or a poor reader. Protein expression depends on the regulation of genes, and their function can be influenced by external factors such as someone’s diet or a virus infection. So to understand something as complex as reading ability, we need to stitch together knowledge about the role of genes, proteins, cells, and large networks of cells.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of ethical considerations in implementation research (IR), with a focus on research conducted in low- and middle-income countries. You will learn about the ethical principles that apply across all phases of IR, including planning, conducting, and post-research responsibilities. The course uses practical examples and lectures to illustrate how ethical dilemmas can be navigated while carrying out an IR project. Key topics include informed consent, justice, community engagement, data privacy, and the ethical obligation to disseminate findings and sustain successful interventions. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to design and conduct IR projects that are both ethically sound and impactful.
