Esse trabalho é resultante de notas de aula da disciplina de sistemas de memória (ministrada por mim) do curso de pós-graduação em neuropsicologia na Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Unicamp. Por ser voltado a um público heterogêneo, os tópicos foram abordados separadamente em um nível de complexidade acessível a um leitor não especialista. O texto traz definições sobre os sistemas de memória, o conteúdo emocional e suas implicações no comportamento, além da função do sono no processo de consolidação de memórias.

Após a realização de uma pesquisa de interesse, o curso a distância Bioquímica da Nutrição foi elaborado e oferecido em 2000, para alunos de graduação da Universidade de São Paulo (USP) e Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) que contemplam disciplina de Bioquímica Básica na grade curricular. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que o interesse não se limita a alunos das duas instituições citadas, mas estende-se a estudantes e profissionais de todo país. Esta observação despertou o interesse em reestruturar o curso para ser oferecido a um público maior e mais diversificado. Em se tratando de uma iniciativa inédita, fez-se necessária a análise do uso de novas tecno...
