Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

Neuroanatomy- Neurophysiology

Aim

The course aims to provide an understanding of the structure and function of the nervous system from the properties of individual nerve cells to their fuction in organized neuronal circuits that produce behavoir.

The Neuroanatomy section covers the anatomy and organization of the nervous system, including spinal cord and pathways, sensory and motor systems, brain anatomy, autonomic nervous system (ANS) and cerebral circulation.

The Neyrophysiology section covers membrane potentials, synaptic transmission, neurotransmitters, spinal reflexes, ANS, somatosensory system, special senses control of voluntary movement, basal ganglia, cerebellum, cerebrospinal fluid, Blood Brain Barrier, sleep and wakefulness, electroencephalogram, learning and memory.

At the end of this course, which is delivered by both lectures and practicals, students will be able to describe the anatomy and the functional mechanisms of the human nervous system.

Course objectives

This course aims to provide knowledge about the anatomy, cellular physiology, and normal function of the human nervous system.

Course content

The course covers the subjects of Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System, while the labs of the course focus on the structure, function and the regulating mechanisms of the Nervous System.

Attendance

This course is comprised by both lectures and lab practicals. Regarding lectures, the attendance is mandatory for 80% of the teaching hours (only 10 teaching hours can be missed). The attendance in lab practicals is 100% mandatory.

This applies to both courses (Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology).

Examinations

This course is examined through written multiple choice question (MCQ) exams on material taught during lectures and lab practicals. The right to a written examination is granted only if all the lab practicals have been attended. In the case that the exam is not passed, the candidate can resit the examination during the resit examination period.
