Principles of Neuroscience
Objectives
One of the main objectives of this discipline is surely that students learn
neuroscience subjects essential for the understanding of the clinical problems that
will be further detailed in the clinical units of Neurology and Psychiatry. However,
this is not the only objective. We also want to convey the enthusiasm for the most
fundamental aspects of Neuroscience, for the discovery process, so that students
may understand the road that lead us to the present, the current challenges, and
eventually how to overcome them.
Specific Objectives
The student should:
- Obtain basic neuroscientific knowledge that enables him/her to have an
integrative view of the nervous system, facilitating the future acquisition of clinical
skill and knowledge, especially in the areas of Neurology and Psychiatry.
- Complement this knowledge with fundamental neuroscience content,
focusing not only on the acquisition of knowledge but also in the discovery process.

Teaching method
The teaching program comprises theoretical, theoretical-practical (TP) and
practical (P) classes.
As previously mentioned, the vast majority of theoretical classes will be made
available asynchronously in the form of videos and/or notes collected for specific
topics. These contents will be available through the TEAMS platform to which all
students have access through their Office 360 account. At the beginning of the
semester, all registered students will be added to the TEAMS of UC de FN where
they will be able to view the videos and download other content. At TEAMS,
students will also find guides for theoretical-practical classes with an introduction,
learning objectives and suggestions for class preparation.
Evaluation method
Distributed throughout the semester/school year, with final evaluation exam/test
Subject matter
Organized by session/class, eventually integrated into Material Blocks and
respective timetable, including the language of instruction and any prerequisites.
