1 The objectives are to learn the approaches of cellular and molecular biology which allow to develop different experimental models needed to study the mechanisms of neuronal loss, which are found in several neurodegenerative diseases.
 
Content
The lecture is subdivided into 3 main parts. In the first part we will discuss the cellular organization of the nervous system, in the second part the modes of communication and signaling and in the third part the macroscopic anatomy of the brain.
Teaching methods
The teaching is organized in the form of lectures on the campus.
Evaluation methods
Written exam consisting of multiple choice questions with reasoning and open-ended questions.
