Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of this course, the student will understand the mechanisms underlying the electrical activity of the neurons as well as those of the structures (called synapses) through which neural cells communicate with each other. He (she) will be able to understand how many pharmacological drugs act on the brain.
