You will learn the fundamentals of neural science: structures, pathways and mechanisms subserving sensory, motor and higher cognitive functions, how information is transmitted along and between neurons, and symptomatology and etiology of neurological and behavioral disorders. These basics will be enriched with recent information derived from cellular and molecular biological approaches so as to give you an appreciation of the extraordinary potential being developed for the understanding and treatment of disorders of the nervous system and of the techniques by which this potential will be realized. Instruction is by a mix of basic science and clinical lectures, anatomy labs and research demonstrations.
