Neuroscience is designed to provide basic
foundational knowledge and facts necessary to
pursue further study and practical application of
the principles of neurology. As such, details of
the peripheral and central nervous systems will be
presented through lecture and laboratory
experience. In addition to review of both external
and internal gross morphology, considerable time
will also be spent in review of the principles of
neurophysiology and nerve impulse conduction,
neorotransmitter classification and action,
embryological development, and structure-function
correlations. This course is an integrated
approach to the structure and function of the
human nervous system. The laboratory component
explores neuroanatomy.
