Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
- Demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of life to understand questions and solve situations related to biology
- Integrate knowledge from other fields of knowledge with biology (earth science, physics, chemistry, mathematics), in a critical way, to foster an interdisciplinary approach
- Apply a scientific approach and critical thinking
- Present a hypothesis and hypothetical-deductive reasoning
- Manage doubt and uncertainty
- Develop autonomy, set training objectives and make choices to achieve them
- Manage stress regardless of events (exams, presentations, etc.)
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of this course, the student will understand the neurobiological bases underlying psychophysiological or cognitive phenomena as complex as visual perception, pain perception, language, dreams, consciousness and memory.
At the end of this course, the student will understand how it is possible to study phenomena as “psychological” and complex as memory not only in intact, alert rats, but also on brain slices (0.5 mm width) maintained alive artificially or even on Aplysia neurons in culture.
