Introduction to Neuroscience (VPUPK_366)
About Study Course
Objective
Provide an in-depth insight into neuroscience; develop student's understanding of well-established theories that explain the neurophysiological foundations of the mind; explore possible research methods of the biology of the mind and the potential application of the acquired knowledge in various professional fields.
Prerequisites
Students must have at least some knowledge of human anatomy and physiology.
Learning outcomes
1.Students will gain an understanding of the brain's developmental processes, its structure and function as it relates to mental processes. Students will gain knowledge of how cognitive functions emerge in the brain and how the brain's pathology leads to dysfunctions of the mind. Students will have an understanding of research methods in neuroscience and how research results are applied (e.g. in information technology, medicine, economics and other fields).
1.Students are able to describe the structure and function of the brain, its development. Students are able to identify how brain activity results in cognitive functions and what factors can influence them. Students have developed skills to navigate the neuroscience literature, critically evaluate it and make conclusions based on reasonable arguments.
1.Students are able to use the acquired knowledge both in further studies, for example, master's or doctoral studies, and in professional areas - in academic settings, research and clinical settings.
