Neuropathology

The EU offers an introduction to the main diseases affecting the nervous system, whether neurological or psychiatric. The pathologies are addressed from a multidisciplinary perspective, ranging from the molecular level to symptoms. This basic knowledge of neuropathology will serve as a foundation for the fields of research covered later in the Master's program.

- Knowledge:

- Multidisciplinary knowledge of the fundamentals of the main diseases of the nervous system: Neuropathies, Epilepsy, Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson's) Schizophrenia, Mood disorders

-Knowledge of pathological processes common to many diseases: channelopathies, neuroimmune interactions (autoimmunity, infection, inflammation), maladaptive plasticity

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

 Know how to analyze experimental data, formulate hypotheses, and propose ways to test them.

Knowing how to summarize and extract important information from a scientific article

Take a critical look at the transition fromin vitro toin vivo

Be able to make the connection between neuropathology teachings and other disciplines of biology

Interpersonal skills:

Get involved in your learning and interact with teachers

Participate actively during tutorials

Working in pairs
