Description:

This course will study anatomy, physiology, health and disease of the human brain. Starting with a brief history of the study of the brain, we will move on to an in-depth examination of the structure and function of nervous tissues. Dissections of animal brains, work with models, and interactive computer programs will supplement the learning experience. Throughout the course we will engage in discussions, and analysis of videos that are designated to apply brain science to everyday experiences. Students will also write and present research reports on topics such as Parkinson's Disease, Epilepsy, Alzheimer's Disease, Drug Addiction, Anti-psychotic and Anti-depressant drug therapies, or Spinal Cord therapies. This course would be an excellent choice for students majoring in psychology, sociology, the natural sciences or anyone interested in brain anatomy and physiology.
