EXPERIMENTAL NEUROBIOLOGY
(objectives)
The course aims to provide the basic knowledge on how the neurons works, interact each other and are organized in the neuronal tissue, providing a framework on the activity of the neuronal system in terms of genetic, biochemical and molecular aspects. 1) Knowledge and understanding: knowledge of neuron biology and its organization in neuronal tissue and in neuronal systems (Peripheral and Central nervous system). Knowledge of neuron generation and the integration of neurons into neuronal system formation. Basic molecular and bioinformatic knowledge of neuronal circuits for understanding the functioning of the neuronal system 2) Applying knowledge and understanding: the basic knowledge acquired through the study of cellular neurobiology will allow students to understand how the nervous system works. Furthermore, students will then apply the above knowledge to the study of neuronal tissue and systems under pathological conditions. 3) Making judgments: the course offers links with other disciplines of the degree program by providing integrated, current and dynamic knowledge, susceptible of specific insights such as: a) reading of scientific material found through keyword research and also provided and shared with learners see text item; b) possibility to work on the power point material provided by the teacher and available on the above link; c) possibility to participate in themed seminars organized by the teacher 4) Communication skills: during the lessons students are invited to propose their opinion and to study in groups to develop their communication skills. These skills are then verified during the ongoing exams and at the end of the training activities. 5) Learning skills: students must be able to describe scientific topics related to the function of the neuron in the tissue and neuronal systems to understand how the underlying nervous system works and acts. To consider the learning of the objectives as expected, the ability to know and to connect the various topics of the proposed program, to express them through the specific terms and to apply them to related themes will be taken into consideration. These abilities will be developed through the active involvement of students in the in-depth study of the course topics
