Neuropathology

This course provides an introduction to the main diseases affecting the nervous system, both neurological and psychiatric. The pathologies are treated under a multidisciplinary angle going from the molecular to the symptoms. This basic knowledge in neuropathology will serve as a foundation for the research fields addressed later in the Master's program

- Knowledge:

- Multidisciplinary knowledge of the fundamentals of the main diseases of the SN: Neuropathies, Epilepsy, Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer, Huntington, Parkinson) Schizophrenia, mood disorders

-Knowledge of pathological processes common to many pathologies: channelopathies, neuro-immune interactions (autoimmunity, infection, inflammation), maladaptive plasticity

-Approach of the functional exploration techniques of the SN and of the study models and their limitations
