MDBS 709 Nervous System &Special Senses

Neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology, clinical neurology, and neuropharmacology principles form the basis for understanding essential concepts of normal and pathological neurological functions. Integrated and multidisciplinary course material provides an overview of functional and structural relationships between the central and peripheral nervous systems in diseased and healthy conditions. Medical students explore the normal anatomy and function of the special senses, including hearing (ears), vision (eyes), and taste (tongue), and pathological conditions involving these organs. Students have the opportunity to develop skills in assessing patient symptoms, locating problem areas within the nervous system and special senses, and diagnosing and treating abnormalities.
