Learning Objectives
Knowledge of the main mechanisms underlying nervous communication. Knowledge of the latest generation technologies used for the restoration of damaged neural functions or for the detailed study of the mechanisms underlying brain function.
Program
The first lesson will describe the mechanisms underlying nerve communication (cell types, synapse definition, action potential, main brain areas).
The second lesson will describe latest generation technological tools, such as 3D-scaffolds, microfluidic supports, nanomaterials, useful in the study of nervous functions and in the restoration of damaged neuronal functions.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
In accordance with the Dublin Descriptors, at the end of the course, the student must demonstrate that:
1. Have achieved a knowledge and understanding of nervous physiology and technologies that allow them to set up the discussion of theoretical issues in a logical and complete way;
2. Knowing how to set up the treatment of applicative problems in the field of nervous physiology;
3. Knowing how to autonomously and motivatedly evaluate any different opinions on problematic aspects of nervous physiology;
4. Knowing how to express one's knowledge in scientific language and vocabulary;
5. Demonstrate having achieved a good learning ability, not only in the form of memorizing the information studied, but also in the form of organizing one's own thoughts around such information.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
