Intelligence
All the activities will be at the LAG on Tuesdays at 7pm
Block One
First Session: Tuesday the 3rd of November. Neurosciences
-
 7pm: Brief introduction to the group goals and methodology.
-
 7:30pm. First Part (Theory):
Neural Signaling
1. Resting Membrane Potential
2. Action Potential
3. Synaptic Transmission
4. Neurotransmitters
5. Receptors
6. Synaptic Integration
7. Synaptic Plasticity
-
 8:15pm. Break
-
 8:30pm. Second Part (Interactive):
Use the different interactive resources which illustrate the details of
neuron architecture, signaling mechanisms and the nature and function
of the different neurotransmitters and receptors. Look also at practical
cases of diseases and discuss about the biological implications of the
synaptic plasticity in learning and memory.
