PHTH 5570 - Neuroscience/Neuropathology (3)


This course is designed to provide the students with a working knowledge of the development, structure, function, and pathology of the nervous system via lectures, lab, and group discussions. The structure of the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), and autonomic nervous system (ANS) will be studied as each relates to clinical neurology. This course will involve an analysis of the function of different components of the nervous system and how such function is altered or modified by injury, pathology, and aging. The content of the course is reinforced in the neuroscience laboratory component. A section on neuropathology will also be presented. Prerequisite(s): Completion of 2nd semester of professional program and/or permission of the instructor.
