This evolution aims to meet the requirements of individual and collective prevention and animal welfare. In this context, the discipline addresses topics related to normative recommendations to professionals working in laboratories and animal facilities regarding equipment, exposure to risks, as well as waste disposal and adequate physical structure. In a second stage the discipline addresses and discusses the ethical bases of animal welfare, with emphasis on the current concepts and legislation in animal experimentation in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bibliography: BRASIL.

Enable the student to critically understand: 1) the foundations of neurophysiology, with an emphasis on the organization of the nervous system, neural function and neurotransmitter systems; 2) the biological characteristics of psychiatric illnesses such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, psychoses and substance abuse; 3) the biological characteristics of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease, Parkinson&#8217;s Disease, Huntington&#8217;s Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis; 4) the study of different characteristics of psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases: etiology, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment; 5) experimental models for the study of diseases.<\/p>\n<p>RECOMMENDED BIBLIOGRAPHY:<br \/>\n1.
