Overview

Date/time interval

Secondo Semestre (01/03/2026 - 31/05/2026)

Syllabus

Course Objectives

The course examines the nervous functions starting from the phenomena of cell excitability up to the integrated functions of the sensory-motor systems, divided into four themes:
• How excitable cells can generate and conduct an electrical signal over long distances and how the electrical signal is transmitted and integrated between the excitable cells.
• Nerve functions of the spinal cord and brain trunk.
• Anatomo-physiological organization of sensory and motor systems.
• Cognitive functions of the cerebral cortex: Language, Learning, Memory, Emotions
At the end of the course the student must have acquired a synthetic, clear and reasoned vision of the physiological mechanisms at the base of the nervous functions, which is indispensable for subsequently tackling the professional subjects in a critical manner.

Course Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of anatomy and biochemistry

Teaching Methods

30 hours of Lectures

Assessment Methods

The level of learning achieved will be evaluated with a final exam consisting of an oral test aimed to ascertain the level of knowledge reached on the theoretical contents indicated in the program. The test is considered to be over if the student satisfactorily answers to questions. The oral examination will also allow you to check the student's communication skills with the language and organization of the exposure on the topics under discussion and their reasoning skills.
The final mark expressed as 30 will be given by the weighted average of the exam modules.
