Teaching Methodologies
Presentation of issues in the form of class theory of final to facilitate the knowledge acquisition. Review classes before the test. Presentation and discussion items related scientific and themes (a) s with matters taught. Want this up business students work as a team and that an oral presentation all group members (maximum 5 students) intervened.
Look up-to interpreting and correlate matter more than merely present it.
Students who obtain a minimum grade of 10 (ten), rounded up, will be considered to have passed this course unit. Continuous assessment
2 Written test (60%) Critical reflection report (40%)
Final assessment
Normal/Resit/ Special period exam: Written exam (100%)

Learning Results
Teaching the basic knowledge about how the central and peripheral nervous system work. At the end of this course is intended that students:
Identify the basic units of the nervous system and describe the organization and function of the central and peripheral nervous system.
Analyze and describe the biological and molecular processes responsible for neuronal signaling. Analyze the sensory processing mechanisms. Analyze the process of motion and its control.
Identify the main changes in the brain.
Analyzing the main complex brain functions. Identify the organization and function of the cortex of association and describe some of the implications of his injury.
Apply the acquired knowledge in solving clinical nature of problems.
Demonstrate synthesis and communication skills and core competencies to teamwork.
