Elective

The aim of this course to provide students in the biomedical sciences program BMedSc with clear and detailed information regarding the gross and microscopic anatomy of various parts of the central nervous system. This course also provides sufficient knowledge of the various neuronal connections of each part of the CNS in sufficient depth to form the basis for further clinical or research studies of the nervous system.

Microscopic and gross anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous system (including blood supply and meninges)
Spinal cord and spinal nerves
Cranial nerves structure and function
Sensory system and pathways
Motor system and pathways

1. Demonstrate a clear understanding and professional knowledge of the microscopic and gross anatomy and topography of the central nervous system, and associated structures. Associated structures include, vasculature, meninges and CSF circulation.
2. Identify major neuroanatomical structure in specimen images, radiological images, and brain model, and describe their functional significance.
3. Discuss the functional consequences of a section or a lesion to a neuroanatomical structure/pathway or a hemorrhage in a particular blood vessel.
4. Display insight into current research issues and an ability to critically evaluate primary literature in the field of neuroanatomy.
5. Develop skills necessary for a professional in the sciences including: identifying research questions, conducting literature searches, writing research proposals, presenting research findings.
6. Develop skills necessary for a professional in the sciences including communication and working collaboratively in groups
