Neurobiology

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

• understand and describe the fundamental processes underlying the development of the mammalian central nervous system ;
• identify and describe the molecular actors involved and their signalling pathways
• demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of complex brain functions studied in the course ;
• understand and describe the characteristics and molecular mechanisms involved in the different pathologies studied;
• understand, describe and discuss the neurodegenerative mechanisms and regenerative processes of the adult mammalian nervous system.
• analyse and comment on an article from the recent scientific literature related to the topics covered during the ex cathedra course, seminars and reverse classes.
