Fundamentals of Neuroscience

Catalog description

This course explores the anatomical and physiological foundation of the nervous system within a developmental context. It provides a general overview of the neural and chemical basis of behavior. The lectures will mostly address normal neurological development and functioning but will refer to the clinical implications of various endogenous and exogenous abnormalities such as genetic and neurodevelopmental variations and morphological abnormalities. The sensory, motor and arousal systems will be examined in detail.
