Prerequisites: NEUR 101 and BIOL 251.
This course explores the cellular and gross anatomy of the nervous system, with an emphasis on the functional anatomy of the human brain and spinal cord in the normal and pathological states. The major sensory, motor, and integrative neural systems of the human brain are discussed.
Outcomes: Understanding of gross neuroanatomy, including major brain systems, spinal cord input and output, and cranial nerves; Understanding of cell types and their functions within the nervous system, and how diseases impact their function; Understanding of modern approaches to identifying cell types and connections among different structures in the brain and periphery.
