DPT 6103 - Neuroscience Lab

Credits: 1 hr

This course provides laboratory studies that cover the gross anatomical structures and relationships of the normal brain and spinal cord. Wet brains and spinal cords published atlases of cross-sections, heuristic models and connectional diagrams are introduced to emphasize the three-dimensional and serial connections, and variety of relationships essential to understanding the development and normal function of the central nervous system (CNS). Frequent clinical correlations and case studies provide for the classification, application and analysis of the potential impact of trauma, disease, and abnormal development as major contributors to structural variation and functional disability.
