The course aims to investigate the central and peripheral nervous systems, related endocrine glands and how hormones function in the brain to regulate physiology and behavior.
The course will investigate central and peripheral nervous system and related endocrine glands, how hormones function in the brain to regulate physiology and behavior. Particular emphasis is placed on neuropeptides and also more details on the organization and operation of different hypothalamus-pituitary-endocrine gland axes will be presented. In addition, the in vitro, in vivo and in situ properties of neuroimmune system elements and related functional disorders will be presented.
| 1. | To learn the secretory glands related to nervous system, the roles of brain hormones in regulation of physiology and behavior |
| 2. | To learn about neuropeptides and the organization and functioning of hypothalamus-pituatary-endocrine gland axis |
| 3. | To learn the nervous system diseases related to regulatory and control systems and their action mechanisms |
| 4. | To learn the components of neuroimmune system and the regulation of immune response by the nervous system |
| 5. | To gain knowledge on the interaction of neuroendocrine and immune system and the neuroimmune pathologies |
