Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

Understand, describe, analyse and prioritise biological phenomena

Problem-solve
Abstract, understand and apply mathematical translations of the main laws and biological phenomena
Perceive spatial distribution, and understand two- and three-dimensional representations and interconvert them
Understand the chronology of a phenomenon and master the time scales and their representations

Control the molecular, morphological and functional approaches of normal and pathological conditions

Understand the learning of physiological and pharmacological reasoning
Integrate concepts from different approaches/disciplines in a complex biomedical problem
Explain how molecular, morphological and functional modifications constitute pathological states and vice versa

Develop reasoning skills

Present a hypothesis and hypothetical-deductive reasoning
Manage doubt and uncertainty

Manage their studies

Be open to research and demonstrate scientific curiosity

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, the student will understand how the different sub-systems of the brain work (motricity, vision, pain, language, memory, sleep and dreams, etc).

At the end of this course, the student will be able to understand how many pharmacological drugs act on the brain. The student will be able to easily understand the basic mechanisms of the main brain diseases.

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.
