Neuroscience and the Autopsy

2 credits · Allied Health Graduate Program

Students are introduced to neurologic disease processes and how these processes relate to changes in the brain and spinal cord. Emphasis is placed on neuroanatomy, neurohistology, and the neurological dissection and how these impact the approach taken during surgical pathology and autopsy procedures. The course is paired with an introduction to the autopsy service and the various pathology conferences directed towards the service. Michelle Johnson and Neuropathology Faculty and Staff
