Basic Neuroscience

Catalog description

The Basic Neuroscience System covers the basic structure, function, and dysfunction of the human nervous system, using a multidisciplinary team of basic science faculty to cover histology and embryology of the nervous system, neuroanatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. This system utilizes lectures, laboratories, independent study, and case studies to guide students to clinically important topics in neuroscience. This system begins with coverage of the basic physiology and biochemistry of neurons and glia and proceeds to cover the external and internal anatomy of the central nervous system, sensory and special sensory systems, motor systems, higher cognitive functions, and stroke syndromes.
