The aim is a basic introduction to the construction and operation of the human nervous system. Neuron - structure, function, membrane processes. Neural neuron conduction, action, generator and resting membrane potential. Synapse - construction and function. Mediators - types, functions, paths of information transfer between neurons. Supporting cells - glia. Covers of the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid. Vascular supply to the brain and spinal cord. Spinal cord - structure, function. Brain stem - structure, function. Cerebellum - structure, function. Mezimozek - construction, function. End Brain - Building, Breakdown, Centers. Limbic system - structure, function. Basal ganglia - structure, function. Cranial nerves. Autonomous nervous system. Biorhythms. Vigilance and sleep, sleep disorders. Driving motor skills. Sensory functions. Visual organs. Auditory devices. Position and motion organs. Chemoreceptors - smell and taste. Proprioception and skin sensation. Central nervous system integration function. Complex approach to man in the context of brain functions. Brain development, growth factors, neuronal origin, extinction and migration. Neurophysiological aspects of mental disorders (depression, schizophrenia, dementia, etc.). Possibilities of influencing the brain by biological means (psychopharmaceuticals, electroconvulsions, etc.). Brain and Stress - Management and Phase of Stress Reaction, Effect of Stress on Brain Function.
