Content
The course (master) proposes to deepen the basic knowledge acquired in neuroscience (WSBIM1220) by addressing 3 major functions controlled by the nervous system:
- Pain
- Memory
- Biological rhythms
The aim of the course is to provide students with a suitable knowledge base to understand the mechanisms implemented by the nervous system to control these 3 functions and the associated pathologies.
The opportunity is offered to students to familiarize themselves with experimental approaches essential to understanding the 3 functions studied
Teaching methods
Magisterial teaching
Evaluation methods
Written exam. Open-ended questions.
Online resources
The course's Moodle platform groups together the course's support document as well as links to resources or sites that complement the topics covered.
