Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

Anatomy and function of major structures and circuits of the human central nervous system in health and disease. Gross structure and function of the human brain, spinal cord, and cranial nerves are emphasized. Students will gain both an appreciation of the brain's three-dimensional architecture and a thorough understanding of the functions of major brain systems. Additionally, there is a focus on how sensory signals are processed from a succession of lower centers on up through successive cortical regions. Materials include human brain samples as well as images of human brain sections, 3-D models and animations, as well as CT, PET and MRI images. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: PSYC 487 .
