- Prerequisites
- The student must have a firm knowledge of the macro- and microscopic anatomy of the central nervous system. It is also required to possess knowledge about the physiology of the neuron and synaptic transmission, acquired in the course of Physiological Basis of Human Body. Another prerequisite is knowledge of the physiology of sensory organs, also acquired in the course of Physiological Basis of Human Body.

Results of learning outcomes
Students must know the principles of the functional organization and neurophysiology of the human central nervous system. The course is aimed at providing a framework for understanding brain systems for sensory perception, control of body movement, human behavior, cognitive functions, emotions, control of the sleep-wake cycle, in view to understand nervous system pathology.

Course delivery
- Mandatory attendance
- E-learning: live streaming classes or recorded lessons and synchronized interactive learning.
- Recorded lessons are posted in Moodle within the time they are scheduled.
The lessons of the first semester are about the motor system and are asynchronous recordings posted in Moodle (they are the recordings of the previous year)
Students are encouraged to contact the teachers by email to ask questions.
