Course objectives
At the end of the Neuroscience course, students will have sufficient theoretical background required for physician. Students should be able to recall known principles of central and peripheral nervous systems. Students will be able to explain brain development, neuronal communication, and its impairment of experience or disease. Students will be able to explain why a human being is moving, perceiving, thinking and remembering.

Teaching methods
Lessons are led in the form of lectures and practicals.
Assessment methods
Neuroscience-lecture course is terminated by a written test: the students write answers to 3 questions within a two hours. In the 1st question the emphasis is on neuroanatomical knowledge (grade A-F) and in the 2nd question on neurophysiological knowledge (grade A-F). The 3rd question is integrative and tests the student`s ability to describe the topic from the point of view of neuroanatomy (grade A-F) and neurophysiology (grade A-F) together. To pass the exam, student must obtain at least grade E in each evaluated part of the test.
