The lectures and divided into 3 blocks dealing with the molecular, cellular and organ bases of nervous system functioning. Knowledge from the previous Course of Physiology of animals an man is necessary. Block 1 Biology of components of nerve system - stucture and function of neurons and glia cells. Block 2 Brain anatomy and its complex functions (attention, memory, learning, sleep, problem solving, emotions). Block 3. Response to stress, effects of drug abuse.

The aim is to o provide information on structural and functional organisation of nervous sytem of animals and man at the organ, tissue, cellular and molecular levels. Attention is paid the whole body integrative functions of the nervous system, including motorics, perception, organ functioning and higher nervous activities. The effects of selected harmfull factors, mainly stress, drugs and aging of the nervous system are included.
