Course Objectives

The course aims to enable students to understand the functional bases of the integrative activity of the nervous system for the understanding of psychic activity and physiological correlates.

The course stimulates the knowledge and the comprehension ability applied to psicho-pathological aspects. The course aims to allow students to be indipendent in their judgment about neurophysiological topics. The course aims to develop and stimulate
