DESCRIPTION
The general objective of this course is to understand and explore the knowledge of the neurobiological bases of the main human behaviours, specifically, the stages of sleep and awake, the motivated behaviours, the addiction process, the nature of emotions and learning and memory processes. Behavioural neuroscience has a multidisciplinary character since it requires the knowledge of many sciences, mainly psychology, biology and chemistry. Neuroscience covers a variety of topics related to health, society, and education. One of its branches focuses on the study of the biological substrates of behaviour and the underlying mental processes. To understand behaviour, and the mind, it is necessary to know how the components of the nervous system are organized and how their interactions result in normal function. This course will provide students with the necessary knowledge to understand how the brain works in health and disease.
