Topic: Functional Neuroanatomy

Catalog description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the structure and function relationships within the human nervous system. Students will explore the gross and microscopic anatomy of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. The course will cover foundational topics such as the organization and landmarks of the central nervous system, the blood-brain barrier, cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and venous drainage. Further, students will study, in depth, the anatomy and physiology of the brainstem, cranial nerves, spinal cord and their associated neural pathways. Through brain mapping activities and case studies, students will connect anatomical structures with clinical and functional outcomes.
