Specialization Course in Neuroscience and Neuroplasticity

Specialization Course of Neuroscience and Neuroplasticity (English Version)

This specialization course is based on the current view of neuroscience and neuroplasticity. Through the acquisition of multidisciplinary knowledge the student is allowed to achieve a better understanding of the functioning mechanisms of the brain as well as potentially influential factors in the formation of new nerve cells and structural and functional maintenance of neuronal development. Knowledge is gathered in the light of the latest scientific research that, integrated, allows the improvement of human experience, enhances the mind and can play an important role in preventing and delaying the evolution of neurodegenerative processes. This course is certified by the Piaget Institute (Portugal), Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Iran), Iranian Society of Neuroscience and DANA - Brain Health Institute.
