Human Brain Anatomy

1.0 credits

This short introduction to human brain anatomy is based on a series of laboratories developed for medical students. The major goal is to gain an understanding of basic brain structures from standpoints of anatomy, organization, and function. Information about brain vasculature and the ventricular system will also be covered. Basic concepts learned in these exercises will be further developed by lectures in the class. Because we are examining human brain, some clinical material will be presented (e.g. strokes). However, the emphasis will always be relating structure to function rather than diagnosing neurological conditions.
