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,

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.
