TECHNICAL COURSES
The module is subdivided into the following parts:
A) Technical courses I: Methodological approaches in Neuroscience, Statistics (SPSS, R programming, graphpad)
B) Technical courses II: Molecular Biology-Omics
C) Technical Courses III: Methodological approaches in Neuroscience , Microscopy-neuroimaging
D) Technical courses VI: Methodological approaches in Neuroscience , Experimental animal models in Neuroscience
E) Technical courses V: Methodological approaches in Neuroscience, Elements of Bioinformatics (big data bases)
This is a 1st semester, 3 weeks obligatory course that corresponds to 5 ECTs and 44 total hours of lectures.
