Introduction to Functional Neuroanatomy

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course aims to introduce students to concepts that are central to the field of Neuroanatomy. The main emphasis of the course will be on the human central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. Importantly, anatomy will be discussed in relation to the functions of the nervous system. Students will learn topics such as Cell Biology and Physiology, Neurodevelopment, sensory-motor systems, autonomic divisions, and the anatomy responsible for generating some of our higher cognitive functions. There are no prerequisites for this course, but a basic understanding of high school chemistry and biology is recommended.
