Advanced Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology
Vertiefung Neuroanatomie und Neurophysiologie
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:30:38
Abstract
Advanced knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the nervous system.
Objective
The course equips students with advanced knowledge of the anatomical structure and function of the most important structures of the central nervous system. They will understand pathophysiological mechanisms and identify explanations for the occurrence of specific symptoms in neurological diseases. They will also be able to apply their knowledge to describe the mechanism of action of drugs. In addition, they learn the most important methods for analyzing the functions of the nervous system and will be able to use this knowledge to evaluate experimental data.
Content
1. Anatomy: How is the central nervous system structured? 2. Motor control: which structures are involved in voluntary and involuntary movements? 3. Sensory, somatosensory and sensorimotor integration: how is information from different systems integrated and interpreted by the brain? 4. Higher brain functions: What specializations enable us to speak and process emotions and feelings?
