| 1 | At the end of the course, the student will be able to: 1. Describe the different forms of memory. 2. Describe the structures involved in encoding and storing memory. 3. Explain the cellular and molecular pre- and post-synaptic mechanisms of different forms of synaptic plasticity. 4. Define and explain different notions related to pain. 5. Explain pathways and mechanisms of activation and modulation of pain pathways. 6. Describe the consequences and mechanisms of alterations in pain pathways, and their measurements in humans and animals. 7. Describe the different treatments for pain and their mechanisms of action. 8. Define the concept of rhythm at the level of the neuron and the nervous system. 9. Explain the molecular mechanisms and neural pathways that control the circadian clock. 10.

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
- Pain
- Memory
- Biological rhythms
The aim of the course is to provide students with a suitable knowledge base to understand the mechanisms implemented by the nervous system to control these 3 functions and the associated pathologies.
The opportunity is offered to students to familiarize themselves with experimental approaches essential to understanding the 3 functions studied
