Course objectives
Students will develop a good knowledge and understanding of the following subject contents:
- Acquisition of in-depth knowledge of the applications of imaging technologies applied to clinical and experimental studies of structural and functional changes of the human brain, in physiological and pathological conditions.
- Acquisition of in-depth knowledge of the computer algorithms used for the analysis and integration of neuroimaging data.
- Oggetto:
Results of learning outcomes
- Ability to correctly apply scientific methodology to the study of the anatomical and functinal trajectories of the human brain.
- Ability to apply morphological, functional, and genetic analysis methodologies to the study of human brain changes in healthy and disease cases.
- Ability to combine the knowledge of genetics and imaging techniques for developing new diagnostic strategies.
