The main educational objective is the mastering of intermediate/advanced neuroscientific knowledge on the motor system, the regulation of behaviour, cognitive processes and learning, plasticity and mental illness. A further objective is that of better defining the psychological knowledge in the light of neuroscientific knowledge, and vice versa, in the understanding of their reciprocal interdependency. At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to independently understand, describe and critically evaluate mental phenomena in relation to their neural substrates, and the ability to deepen the vast literature on these aspects in an equally autonomous way.
