Highly useful for understanding core neurobiological concepts and preparing for exams, with practical examples of how to m...

Study document containing detailed problem explanations for the Body and Behavior course at Maastricht University, covering neuropsychological case studies and brain lobe functions. Topics include Phineas Gage and frontal lobe damage, Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia, prosopagnosia, optic ataxia, and the specific functions of the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Ideal for understanding how brain damage relates to behavioral and cognitive changes, with real clinical examples ...

Study notes from Body and Behavior (Task 3) at Maastricht University covering neurotransmitters, action potentials, and neural conduction. The document explains neurotransmitter definition and types, the all-or-none law, rate law, axon conduction in myelinated vs unmyelinated fibers, decremental vs non-decremental conduction, and drug effects on neurotransmission (agonists and antagonists). Ideal for exam preparation and understanding core neurobiological concepts tested in the Health Sciences/P...

Study material for Task 8 of the Body and Behavior course at Maastricht University, covering acquired brain injuries and neurological conditions. The document provides detailed explanations of brain tumors (benign and malignant types), seizures (partial and generalized), and the neurobiological mechanisms involved, particularly dopamine's role in movement control and Parkinson's disease. Useful for exam preparation and understanding the clinical symptoms, causes, and treatment options for ...

Study material for Task 4 of the Body and Behavior course at Maastricht University, focusing on techniques to measure brain activity and structure. Covers invasive methods (brain lesions, stereotaxic techniques, histology), neural tracing (anterograde and retrograde), and functional imaging methods (autoradiography, PET, fMRI, EEG, MEG). Includes detailed comparisons of spatial and temporal resolution across techniques, plus advantages and disadvantages of each method. Essential for understandin...

Study notes from Task 7 of the Body and Behavior course at Maastricht University, covering physiological regulation mechanisms. Topics include homeostasis and negative feedback systems, body fluid compartments, osmosis, tonicity, and the physiological control of thirst and drinking behavior. These notes break down complex concepts like isotonic/hypertonic/hypotonic solutions and explain why certain fluids should be avoided, making them ideal for exam preparation and understanding the course mate...

This study guide for Embryology at Maastricht University covers all the cases that will be covered during the tutorials. I passed this course with a 7.5. The case-based structure with clear learning objectives and organized content makes it ideal for exam preparation and understanding the progression from molecular biology to whole-organism development for the exam.

Summary BBS1003 Statistics at Maastricht University, covering foundational statistical concepts for biomedical sciences. I passed this course with an 8.5. These notes provide clear definitions and step-by-step explanations of key statistical methods, making them invaluable for understanding core concepts before the exam.

Summary of BBS1004 Brain, Behavior and Movement at Maastricht University. The summary covers all the cases that will be used during the course. I passed the course with a 7.7. It is well-structured around clinical cases and neuroscience principles, making it ideal for understanding course concepts and preparing for the course exam.

This manual, titled "BBS2052 - Macroscopy Manual," is an illustrated educational reference guide to human gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, and kinesiology of the upper and lower extremities. It systematically covers essential anatomical planes, movement classifications, muscle mechanics (origins, insertions, actions, and architecture), and basic spinal cord pathways. Through full-color illustrations and structured tables, it details the bones, joints, major muscle groups—such as the rotator cuff, ...

A comprehensive, weekly exam-focused study guide covering all cases + weekly literature based on Rang & Dale’s Pharmacology. It integrates course case studies, primary literature key learning goals, and textbook chapters into clear, high-yield sections.

This document combines extensive case study analyses with integrated lecture notes for BBS2042 Cell Signaling at Maastricht University (2026/2027). The structured format linking each case to specific learning outcomes (B-ILO1 through B-ILO7) makes it ideal for exam preparation. Additionally, an elaboration of JC6 connected to Case 8/Lecture 7 useful for understanding signalling dynamics, and a You tube playlist with explanations of the main signalling pathways are included.

Complete rigorous summary of all journal club questions for cases 1-6 (PAH endocrine disruption, liver fibrosis, histamine signaling, miR-199a, CRISPR proteomics, and cancer networks), including drawings.

The document provides a detailed summary for every case of the bbs1005 embryology course, based on the syllabus of the academic year 2025-26 (May- June 2026). The material included in this document includes notes from all topics discussed in the tutorials, lectures and the answers to the labbuddy exercises and dissection hall practicals. However it does not include any info about the computer practical. The file also includes, towards the end, the answers and explanations to all the test que...
