DPSY 770 - Introduction to Neuroanatomy

3 Credit(s)

This is the first part of a two-semester (one-year) course designed to examine basic neuroanatomy and neuropathology. Both didactic lectures and relevant clinical experiences (i.e., observation of brain dissections, neurosurgery, and neuroradiologic techniques) are offered. The first semester of this course provides the student with a basic understanding of neuroanatomical structures and the integration of functional systems within the brain. The student becomes familiar with the roles and functions of neurological, neurosurgical, and neuroradiological specialists within a medical center.
