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, muscular system and adipose tissue. This UE will give students cutting-edge knowledge of this new field where interactions between body and mind are in question. 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

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

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE assessment

• Written examination - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

1 global notation for 1 exam (NS-IS, BGA), 1 exam (Neuroendocrino), 1 quotation for homework  Weighting coefficient of each note depending on amount of courses in each AA.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

ex: exam BGA-S-I: 16/20 et exam NE: 18/20
BGA-S-I: 8h+15h, NE: 14h of lessons
weighted mean: [16x(8+15) + 18x14]/(8+15+14)
