Topic

Students gain an insight into the modern approach to neuroendocrinology, with many experimental examples and clinical relevance. They can familiarize themselves with the latest research data describing the molecular effects of hormones on the central nervous system. In addition, they get an overview of the most modern tools of molecular neuroendocrinology.
