RHS 323 - Advanced Neuroscience

This course will provide the student with in-depth knowledge of neurophysiology and neuroanatomy. It will emphasis the correlative neurosciences to aid in understanding principles in evaluating the intact and dysfunctioning nervous system; and formulating foundations for therapeutic intervention. It will also focus on the analysis of the process and knowledge necessary for identifying the neuromuscular tissue or system representing the origin of disorders in patients. Signs and symptoms from history and physical examination will be the focus with appropriate testing necessary to confirm hypotheses regarding neuromuscular pathology. The intent is for student to be able to differentiate clusters of signs and symptoms, and to make appropriate clinical decisions.
