  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The course leads students to study brain function from the cellular and synaptic level to the functional and system level. The content includes cellular and synaptic neuroscience and is designed to investigate different aspects of sensory systems, as well as higher order brain processing and dysfunction. Teaching is structured around the development of knowledge of brain function, from the cellular level to functional systems and approaches.
