  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The curricular unit leads students to study brain function from the cellular and synaptic level to the functional and system level. It addresses contents of cellular neuroscience and synaptic essences for the study of different aspects of sensory systems, besides processing and higher order brain dysfunction. Teaching is structured around the development of knowledge of brain function, from the cellular level to functional systems and approaches.
  • ProgramaProgramme
