MSMS 506 Neuroscience

The Neuroscience course is designed to give students a foundational knowledge of the human central nervous system that they will use when learning how to diagnose and treat neurological disorders. The course provides students with important principles of neurological function, from cellular and molecular mechanisms of neural communication to the organization and function of sensory and motor systems and higher cognitive function. Students will take virtual or wet-laboratories, clinical correlations and demonstrate mastery of the neurological exam to reinforce knowledge of brain structure and strengthen skills to understand the human nervous system. The course is delivered in the form of recorded lectures with accompanying in class-sessions using the flipped classroom model.  Corequisites: MSMS 502, MSMS 504, MSMS 505, and MSMS 506.
