The study of the nervous system, and specifically the study of the human brain, is, at present, one of the priority areas in scientific research. One of the greater challenges is the discovering of the misteries of the brain, from its molecular functioning to the mechanisms supporting memory, intelligence or consciousness and the interaction with the environment. Progress in the knowledge of the nervous system must allow to fight against diseases involving it, and to improve quality of life. From the clinical perspective, this programme includes lines focused to the understanding, prevention and treatment of mental disorders from a biopsychosocial perspective.
This Programme takes part from the 'Network of European Neuroscience Schools' (NENS), a structure within the FENS (Federation of European Neuroscience Societies) that offers information about postgraduate training in Neuroscience and promotes cooperation among European training programmes.
This is an interuniversity study, in addition to University of A Coruña, the following universities also colaborate in teaching:
