Facultative course (lecture and laboratory exercises) for baccalaureate degree of the study program biology. Recommended in the 3rd year for the students planning to continue on the Mgr. degree in the neurobiology or animal physiology. Course is recommended for 6th semester (summer terms) as a subsequent course for course "Neurobiology" (B150P36, 5th semester). In the 8th semester can be supplemented with course "Physiology of senses" (B150P28).
