Neuropathology

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

-Approach to functional exploration techniques and study models and their limitations
