Description
The topics discussed in this lecture / laboratory course are centered on the basic neuroanatomical and neurophysiological principles essential to establishing a foundation of knowledge related to the human nervous system. The development, differentiation, and histology of the nervous system will be studied, along with the external and internal configuration of the spinal cord, brain stem, cerebellum, cerebral hemispheres, and the neurocircuitry within these regions. Spinal cord pathways, along with pathway lesions, will be emphasized. The special sensory systems will be addressed from peripheral receptors to central neural pathways. The laboratory sessions will reinforce the structural and functional relationships of the entire neuroaxis from spinal cord to cerebral hemispheres. In this course the fundamental principles of the discipline are taught to form a strong intellectual foundation for further study of the subject and its clinical applications.
