The first educational goal is the understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms of neuron functioning, from the basic cellular metabolism to the bioelectric and biochemical mechanisms that allow the generation and transmission of membrane and action potential.
A second objective is the understanding of the main organizational and integrative mechanisms of the nervous system, from the anatomical and functional point of view.
A third goal is the understanding of brain mechanisms underlying sensation and perception.
The ultimate goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying the development of the nervous system
