Course description
From the human anatomy perspective we will study the nervous system and the structure of the brain, identify its different lobes and cortices, and analyze various tissues and organ systems within CNS in accordance to their functional and regional contexts.. You will learn about neuron development and plasticity, neurobiological systems, such as the sensory and motor systems, and the neural mechanisms of such complex phenomena, as memory, cognition, and emotions.
Course objectives
The main goal of the course is to provide students with an opportunity to examine the structural and functional features of human nervous system and higher nervous activity in the pursuit of deeper understanding of the biological basics of human behavior. Thus, core objectives of the course are:
Identification of the organization of the CNS and its anatomy alongside explanation of
Central Nervous System and Complex Nervous Activity
