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.
