Functional Neuroanatomy

Description

Study of the structure and function of the nervous system by lectures, hands-on laboratories, brain dissection, and readings. Topics include, but are not limited to, sensory and motor systems, brain imaging, and clinical examples. Requirements: Prerequisite ( ANAT 215 and ANAT 216 ) or ( ANAT 315 and ANAT 316 ) or ( PHGY 215 and PHGY 216 ). Course Learning Outcomes: - Understand and apply appropriate anatomical terms and concepts for the purpose of identification, effective communication and critical reading of relevant literature. - Analyze the gross (macroscopic) and histological (microscopic) anatomy of the tissues and organs that constitute the human nervous system. - Employ a systematic logical thinking process to help you recognize anatomical structures and predict the physiological functions of the nervous system. - Describe the integrated relationship between gross and histological neuroanatomy with respect to structure and function, and be able to extend that knowledge to various aspects of development and function. - Demonstrate an ability to collaborate and work effectively and respectfully with diverse teams. Assessment/Exam Context: Course assessment and examinations vary by course; Queen's notes that eligible exchange students whose first language is not English may receive extra final-exam time. Exchange Registration Note: Arts and Science courses are open to exchange students subject to prerequisites and space. Most courses should be in Arts and Science; other faculties may be limited. Education, Medicine, and Nursing are not open to incoming exchange enrolment.
