The international post-graduation course “Fundamentals in Neuroscience” is occurring from 16th-27th of September at ICVS. In the end of the course, students are expected to: 

-describe the anatomical and functional relations between major brain areas 

-identify the cell types of the nervous system, describe the physical and functional interactions between them and explain their role in the nervous system 

-outline characteristics of disorders of the nervous system and of behavior -analyze animal models of nervous system disorders and select the best suited methodological approaches (behavioral, molecular, electrophysiological) for their study 

- construct a research project for the study of a nervous system disorder 

This international course counts every year with the presence of a fully differentiated academic staff and researchers from different backgrounds, and consists on lectures and “hands-on” type of classes.
