Course Content
Starting with an introduction to neuroanatomy, this course covers the topographic structure of the central nervous system and the major divisions of the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid, the meninges of the central nervous system, the thalamus, hypothalamus, and reticular formation are addressed. The functional organization of the cerebral cortex, the anatomical structure of the spinal cord, brain regions related to speech, cranial nerves, and the basic features of the autonomic nervous system are examined.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to teach the macroscopic and microscopic anatomical structures, organization, and topographic relationships of the central and peripheral nervous systems, and to provide an understanding of the basic components of the nervous system together with their functional and clinical significance.
