HSC 5151C - Clinical Neuroscience

Hours: 5

Clinical neuroscience is a five-credit lecture and lab course in which students receive the neuroanatomical and neurophysiological foundations for understanding normal function, dysfunction, and clinical interventions. There is an emphasis on the neuroscience related to posture, movement, cognition, and sensory functions. Cadavers and models are used to enhance the students’ three dimensional understanding of the material. The neuropathology component of the course uses a case study format to strengthen the students’ knowledge of the etiology and clinical features of the neurological conditions that they are most likely to treat in clinical practice.
