Catalog

This course provides an introduction to the human nervous system, focused on pertinent neuroscience material including neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and disorders of the human nervous system. Emphasis is put on the relationship between structure and function, focusing on the basic neurological examination. A key goal of this course is to provide students with introductory knowledge for engaging in basic clinical problem-solving, by applying neuroanatomical principles to case studies of neurological disorders. Students will also be introduced to the cross-disciplinary nature of studying the human nervous system and will appreciate how neuroanatomical concepts are used in clinical practice across several disciplines.
