Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list.
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Define typical age-related changes in human behaviour, e.g. cognitive and emotional functions, across the lifespan.
2. Define typical age-related changes in the human brain across the lifespan
3. Have insight into how intrinsic factors, such as genes and hormones, may influence brain and behaviour across the lifespan
4. Have insight into how extrinsic factors, such as physical activity, stress, physical environment may influence on brain and behaviour across the lifespan.
5. Have insight into how neurological and psychiatric disorders may affect age-related changes in brain and behaviour
6. Have insight into how neurological and psychiatric disorders may affect age-related changes in brain and behaviour
7. Have insight into modelling techniques to analyse longitudinal multimodal data
8. Identify some of the strengths, challenges and pitfalls when performing and analysing multimodal cohort studies across the life span
9. Have insight in the underpinnings, potential and implementation of personalized/precision medicine approaches.
Content
Insight into how the human brain and behaviour changes and is affected by biological, bodily or physical, and environmental factors, across the life span is pivotal in understanding behavioural and neurobiological risk for pathology, and for understanding health, resilience and potential.
Lectures are given by experts in the field and build on the latest research findings from neuroimaging and behavioural studies. The course highlights specific intrinsic, e.g. genes, hormones, immune system and extrinsic factors, e.g. nutrition, gut microbiota and physical activity, which influence brain and behavioural development and aging. Deviations from the typical pattern of brain and behavioural trajectories are illustrated by examples of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
We will address fundamental methodological and neuroscientific questions regarding life-span neuroscience. Study designs and data analytical approaches. What is a “good” or “bad” life-span trajectory in terms of brain function and structure? How do we work towards more personalized, precision medicine optimised to individuals? How does a given brain function unfold over long time-window and how can these behavioural trajectories be linked to “brain dynamics” in terms of structural and functional changes?
Main themes
Day 1: Population neuroscience across the lifespan
Day 2: Brain and behavioural changes across the human life span
Day 3: Identifying patterns of change over time and causality: data analyses strategies
Day 4: Intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing brain and behaviour across the lifespan
Day 5: Towards personalized health care
