The student chooses a specific issue among the research themes developed by any of the research groups at the institute. Goals: Use the general concepts acquired to identify a relevant issue in neuroscience. Search for and analyze the appropriate existing literature on that issue. Develop alternative hypotheses and design an experimental strategy to validate or refute them. Write and publicly defend an original scientific paper.FacultyNameCoordinatorLectureLaboratoryCABEDO MARTI, HUGO■■■ECHEVARRIA AZA, DIEGO■■HERRERA GONZALEZ DE MOLINA, ELOISA■■NIETO TOLEDANO, MARIA ANGELA■■DE PUELLES MARTINEZ DE LA TORRE, EDUARDO■■BORRELL FRANCO, VÍCTOR■■CANALS GAMONEDA, SANTIAGO■■GOMEZ MARIN, ALEJANDRO■■MARTÍNEZ PEREZ, SALVADOR■■GEIJO BARRIENTOS, EMILIO CARLOS■■Professional interestCompetencies and learning outcomesGeneral competenciesUnderstand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the normal functions of the nervous system.Learn the basics about normal human behavior, its alterations, and changes occurring during ageing.Using macroscopic, microscopic, molecular, and electrophysiological methods recognize the nervous system's structure and function.Know how to use sources of up-to-date bibliographic information critically and present the most significant research results from published papers.Specific competenciesLearn and understand how our knowledge about the nervous system came about and identify the most important challenges in neuroscience today.Design, develop, and present original neuroscience research.Objectives (Learning outcomes)Use the acquired general concepts to identify a relevant neuroscientific issue.Search and analyze the appropriate existing literature on that issue.Develop alternative hypothesis and design an experimental strategy to validate or refute them.Write and publicly defend an original scientific paper.ContentsLecture topicsTeaching unitsMaster Research Project.Course contentsBasic bibliographyComplementary bibliographyLinkshttp://SoftwareMethodology and gradingGradingPresentation and defense of the Master Research Work
