Clinical Anatomy for Medical Student 7th. edition,Lippincotts Williams & WilkinsFF2325NEURO SCIENCESThe aims of the Neuroscience Module are to provide the medical students, through astudy of the structure and the function of the major components of the nervous system,the important connections and the concept of its functions and dysfunctions. They willalso gain an insight into the testing and imaging of the nervous system as applied topatients' problems. It will make the diagnostic importance of concepts such as upperand lower motor neurons and peripheral and central divisions of nervous system andthe associated lesions more apparent. Besides, examining discrete malfunction of themajor elements, the global function of the cerebral cortex and the other parts of thenervous system, is covered with reference to the neurochemistry of the brain. Theywill also understand common infections of the nervous system including toxoplasmosis,prevention and the drugs used in the treatments. In addition, they will understand thedrugs used in the degenerative diseases, drugs of abuse, sedative hypnotics, anaesthetics,anticonvulsants, antidepressants and antipsychotics. Furthermore, the student willunderstand the common cerebral neoplasia, the effects and complications. Similarly,they will understand the effects of the space occupying lesions in the nervous system.References1. Snell R.S. 2004. Clinical Anatomy for Medical Students. 7th Edition.
