BCSC 252: Functional Neuroanatomy
Cross-listed: BCSC 252-01 (P), NSCI 252-01
Prerequisites: BIOL 110L or equivalent
Offered: Spring
This course examines the structure and function of the nervous system and related support components, with the goal of understanding the various parts in the context of the unified whole. We also consider the implications of relevant injuries and diseases, to develop the clinical reasoning involved in identifying and predicting the causes and consequences of neural damage. While these objectives are especially relevant for students considering medical school or graduate study in neuroscience, anyone who wants to understand the structure and function of the nervous system is welcome. Learning objectives will be addressed through lectures, laboratories, discussions, and student presentations.
