Learning Outcomes of UE

Besides the sensorial evaluation of the environment surrounding the individual and the cognitive functions, the nervous system can sense and integrate the status of different organs of the body and trigger physiological, autonomic and behavioral responses that take into account outside as well as inside of the individual. At the end of the UE, the student will have a broad view of the main interactions of the nervous system with the other systems: endocrine system, immune system, brain gut axis and vascular system. This UE will give students cutting-edge knowledge of this new field where interactions between body and mind are in question. 

Content of UE

This UE comprises several AA: Neuroimmune interactions (SI-SN), Neuroendocrine interactions (NE), neurovascular interactions (NVU), and Brain-Gut Axis. Training will be given in English as magistral courses (SI-SN, BGA and NE) or lectures led by research scientistic experts of the field (NVU). For the content description, please see the AAs
