| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit is intended for graduate students who require more in depth knowledge of the central and peripheral nervous systems that control behaviour, and the clinical consequences that ensue following a malfunction of either. Students will also be introduced to the research methodologies currently on offer, that attempt to model the nervous system disorders and the impact of such, on the development of novel therapeutics. Learning Objectives By the end of the study-unit, the student should have a good understanding of the physiology and pathology of the Central and peripheral nervous system. In addition, the students shall have an overview of the research methods utilized to study these systems and the models available to conduct such research. Reading List A complete list of lecture topics in the field of Neuroscience and Neuroanatomy will be published at the start of each semester along with the required texts and reading of current review papers. |
