MABS-5340 Neuroscience

This course will focus on the examination of the anatomy of the nervous system, while contrasting function and dysfunction. Individual topics include organization, function and dysfunction (e.g., lesion effects), and pathways associated with the spinal cord, brainstem, cerebral cortex, and subcortical regions. Additional discussion of the physiology of neurotransmitters and post-synaptic response and cellular signaling will occur. Clinical exams including the cranial nerve, mental status, motor, and neuroophthalmological exams will be discussed.
