Course overview

The aim of this course is to introduce students to fundamental concepts in neuroanatomy including: gross and microscopic organization of the central nervous system, normal and pathological CNS functioning, nervous system development, and the development and evolution of the CNS. To achieve this, nervous system structure, function and pathology are integrated, drawing on information and techniques from cellular, systems and clinical neuroscience. Students will develop key research skills, such as forming collaborations, writing research proposals, presenting research findings and responding to critical questions.
