ODS-7641 Neuroanatomy 2

Upon completion of this course students should be able to understand and describe the microscopic anatomy of the Central Nervous System (CNS). This course is a continuum of Neuroanatomy 1. It focuses on structures, pathways and functions of the brainstem, thalamus, basal ganglia, cerebellum and cerebrum. It continues to focus on understanding the anatomy involved in the clinical presentations of patients. The material covered in this course serves as foundational information for upcoming courses including, Neuro-ophthalmic Disease, Ocular Motility, Neuropharmacology, Neuropathology, among others. Each part of this course draws on and expands on what was taught previously so that you can continuously integrate your knowledge. Neuroanatomy 1 covered Histogenesis, microscopic structures of the Nervous System, Cord and cord pathways. Neuroscience 2 continues with the brainstem, thalamus, cerebellum, basal ganglia, cerebrum and their connections. It is heavily dependent on understanding Neuroanatomy 1.
