Neurobiology

Specific skills A) Knowledge and understanding - knowing the basic nomenclature of Molecular Biology - knowing the importance of the various steps of gene regulation in driving the different neuron functions. B) Applying knowledge and understanding - be able of using the basic nomenclature of Molecular Biology - understanding how the regulation of gene expression is fundamental for the functioning of the brain - to analyze a scientific problem about the neuron functioning and to identify molecular techniques able to solve it C) Making judgements - integrate anatomical knowledge with the regulation of gene expression - understanding the relationships between molecular mechanisms on neuron cells to brain organization and cognitive abilities in vertebrate animals and humans D) Communication skills -be able of presenting a paper in the classroom that is focussing on a specific topic in Molecular Biology of Central Nervous System E) Learning skills - be able of making the logical connections between the topics covered - be able of using different learning resources (texbooks, reports, scientific papers, web resources, atlas) for the autonomous study
