Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the structural and functional mechanism of the human nervous system and its relationship with translational medicine.
Course Content
The structural and functional mechanism of the human nervous system is discussed in terms of translational medicine. The main topics: The organization of the nervous system, the external and internal structure of the central nervous system, the functional components of the spinal nerves and segmental innervation, the integrated circuits of the central nervous system, sensory, motor and integrative systems, the organization of the autonomic nervous system
