Theoretical classes:

Systematized exposition of the content of the subject, giving special relevance to the concepts related to the behavior (since they constitute the basis of what will be regulated), to the evolutionary flexibility of the behavior and to the biological mechanisms and areas of the nervous system involved in the regulation of normal and pathological behavior.

Seminars and problems:

Preparation and discussion of topics related to psychiatric pathologies

Practical classes:

Students will carry out various tasks related to learning, memory, biological rhythms, and emotions. The experimental results obtained will be analyzed and discussed during the practical session.

Use of AI:

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the work development, as long as the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts were generated using such technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a penalty in the activity's grade or more serious sanctions in severe cases.

Tutorials:

They will be done in a personalized way in the teacher's office (hours to be arranged) or collectively at scheduled times. Their objectives are to clarify doubts and concepts.

The evaluation will be based on theoretical exams (essay questions), seminars, and practical classes. Their contribution to the overall grade will be 70%, 15%, and 15% respectively. Theory, seminars, and practicals will be assessed separately. A minimum score of 4 is required in each part to pass the subject. There will be two partial exams for the theory, each of which must be passed independently with a minimum score of 4 for them to be averaged. In the final exam: (a) if a student takes one part of the subject, they must pass it independently of the grade obtained in the other part; (b) if the student takes the entire exam, the overall grade will be considered.

Attendance at practical sessions is mandatory. Students will receive a \"Not Assessable\" grade if their absence exceeds 20% of the scheduled sessions. To participate in the re-sit exams, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total grade for the subject or module. Therefore, students will receive a \"Not Assessable\" grade if the assessment activities they have completed account for less than 67% of the final grade.

Practicals, seminars, and theory will be assessed separately.

The subject adheres to a single evaluation system, which will consist of an exam covering theory and seminars. Attendance at practicals is mandatory, and they will be assessed in the same way as in continuous assessment. The theory evaluation will consist of at least 5 essay questions, and the seminar evaluation will consist of one essay question. The theory exam contributes 70% of the total grade, and the seminar exam contributes 15%.

Any irregularity committed in an assessment activity (including academic fraud, plagiarism, or the improper use of AI, unless such use is explicitly authorized in the course guide) that may lead to a significant alteration of the assessment result will result in a grade of 0 for that assessment activity. If the course guide specifies that obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment activity is an essential requirement for passing the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
