PSYC 103.5 Neuroanatomy Module

This 2-3 week module will involve a hands-on experience with neuroanatomy and some clinical  aspects of neurology. The class will meet every weekday in the morning from 9-12 OR,  alternatively, in the afternoon (1-4) for two of the days during the first week. The first week will  cover a detailed dissection of a sheep’s brain, where each student will get their own sheep’s  brain to dissect. During the second week, we will dissect a human brain in small groups, as well  as cover neurological imaging, the neurologic exam, and some interviews with patients who  have various neurological disorders. On the last day of the module there will be a short  practical exam that will test the material covered. Students will receive 0.33 credits for this  course on their transcripts. The course is intended for students who have taken the IND  102/PSYC 126 Systems Neuroscience course, but may be open to other students by permission.
