PTR 512 - Neuroscience I

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, neurotransmitter 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.
