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.

Course learning outcomes

  • Define, and identify the purpose of data, information, intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom in public health.
  • Identify different types of data, information and knowledge from different sources in public health.
  • Explain the nature and role of different approaches used to analyse, summarise, and synthesise data, information and knowledge for public health.
  • Critically appraise, interpret, and communicate public health information and intelligence to address real-world public health issues.
  • Consider ethical issues across all aspects of data, information and knowledge use for public health, including its ownership, governance, collection, access, analysis and communication.
  • Display insight into current research issues and ability to critically evaluate primary literature in the field of neuroscience
  • Develop skills necessary for a professional in the sciences including: working collaboratively, identifying research questions, conducting literature searches, writing research proposals and presenting research findings
