Textbook: Fundamental Neuroscience by Hanes
Course Description: Also called Neuroanatomy, the course covers three phases in spring. Lectures meet 5-8 hours per week, with lab from 0-3 hours per week. As with Gross Anatomy, Neuroscience can seem like a different language at first, so it is important to preview material and get extra help as you go along. The TAs are second-year or senior medical students, and most are available for tutoring. There are excellent CD-ROM materials available in the library and a review slide CD is purchased with the syllabus and a lab manual. The exam consists of a multiple choice portion covering three questions from each lecture hour and a lab practical. The lab practicals count as 30% of overall grade. |
