Course content
The purpose of the discipline is to form a holistic understanding that the physiological processes underlying the functioning of various parts of the human nervous system have been formed in the course of evolutionary development as an adaptive apparatus that determines not only its survival as a biological being, but also to show that the basic functions of the nervous system are the basis for higher mental functions, which are the basis for the formation of a socially responsible person. To show that innate and acquired behavioral reactions and programs are the result of both unconscious and conscious processes when genetics and environmental influences create individual responses to various influences that are realized with the participation of certain neural networks and structures of the human brain.
