PART II: Sensorial and motor systems: chemical senses, enteric nerve system; vision, hear and vestibular system; touch, pain, temperature; the brain and spinal control of the movement.
PART III: Brain and Behaviour; Celebral Mechanisms for emotions (lymbic system, fear, rage); Sleep and circadian rythm; Language; Memory and learning systems and relative molecular mechanisms. Mirrow neurons.
PART IV: Neuroanatomy and neuroendocrinology of the hypothalamus: brain-gut axis; examples of the functional relationship between the central nervous system and the consequences of activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
