Aims

Continuation of the course of Neurophysiology (BA1 ??).
Study of the nervous mechanisms of behaviour in its more integrative aspects. It will be shown by which mechanisms the sensori-motor functions are integrated in a dynamics including complex processes such as attention, learning and memory, motivation and emotions, cognitive treatments.

Main themes

- Nervous mechanisms of vigilance (arousal, sleep, attention)
- Mechanisms of plasticity and learning, interaction of the genetic and epigenetic variables
- Psychophysiological aspects of memory
- Regulations and nervous mechanisms of the motivations
- Nervous control of the emotional life
- Cognitive aspects, language and lateralisation
- Neurobiology of consciousness
