This unit considers the development, gross anatomy and cellular organisation of the brain and spinal cord and examines the structural and functional organisation of major sensory and motor pathways. Attention is also paid to an understanding of some contemporary issues in neuroscience including neural plasticity, memory, ageing and regeneration. The evolutionary perspective is added by an introduction to comparative structure.<br/><br/>Laboratory classes allow both self-paced and supervised examination of the human brain. Examples of the increasingly complex methods for observing and studying the human brain are introduced. Students are taught about ethical dilemmas in neuroscience... -- Course Website
