Neuroscience

This course is designed to transmit the fundamental facts and concepts underlying current knowledge of the nervous system as this knowledge applies to general clinical training in medicine and physical therapy and on the principle that the best understanding of the nervous system is obtained when the morphological, physiological, and behavioral aspects of the neurosciences are presented conjointly. Clinical examples and correlations are used to provide a context for perceiving and recognizing normal neural structure/function and to illustrate how knowledge of the basic neurobiological principles underlie an understanding of neural and behavioral dysfunction.
