Course objectives
At the end of this course the students should be able to: understand and explain the functions of neural system; define basic structures and their connections; describe cerebral mechanisms which make part in collecting and processing information, its storage in memory and further use, in activating efectors of the organism; describe basic physiological mechanisms determining basic forms of human behavior.
