This course provides an introduction to the anatomy and higher-order functions of the human nervous system. The structure and common disorders of the PNS and CNS will be emphasized throughout this course, and there will be laboratories covering the gross anatomy of systems introduced in lectures. An understanding of the peripheral distribution of the cranial nerves covered in the concurrent Medical Gross Anatomy course (DOSYS-701) will be considered prerequisite knowledge. This course is the second of a two-part series and will cover the following topics: gross and cross-sectional anatomy of the brain and its blood supply; functional anatomy of the brainstem and the cranial autonomic nervous system; introduction to extrapyramidal control of higher somatomotor functions; physiology and neuroanatomy of the special senses; and the regulation of higher functions by forebrain structures.
