Key topics to meet these objectives. The description of the neurophysiological basis of pain perception. Nervous mechanisms and functioning of inter-hemispheric interactions and their role in motor control. The main mechanisms of nervous motor control areas by frontal and parietal cortex. The neurophysiological basis of memory and learning. The description of the phenomenon of plasticity in the central nervous system and their mechanisms.

Content
students should be able to understand the foundations of science in neuroscience through the study of nervous mechanisms particularly suited to the neurological rehabilitation. It should also be able to undertake the critical reading of a scientific article published in the field of neuroscience. Key topics to meet these objectives:
- cerebral lateralization, the functioning of inter-hemispheric interactions and their role in motor control.
- The main nervous mechanisms underlying our ability to make decisions, to select relevant actions and to inhibit less relevant behaviours.
- The neurophysiological basis of memory and learning.
- The description of plasticity phenomena in the central nervous system and their mechanisms.
- Perception of faces.
- The main nervous mechanisms underlying hearing, perception of rhythms and music.
- The main mechanisms underlying sleep.
- The autonomic nervous system.

Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Ex-cathedra courses, either face-to-face or distance learning, if conditions dictate.The courses given by Robert Hardwick will be in English. This concerns 1/3 of the courses.
