For safety when using these facilities after normal hours, please work with a companion. An optional conference that complements clinical topics discussed in the course is offered by the Neurology Department in conjunction with the Neuroscience course. The conference is given at the VA Hospital. The goal of the conference is to broaden your understanding of nervous system function by presenting patients with nervous system disorders in a clinical setting. Students can register for the conference at the beginning of the Neuroscience course.
Conferences usually begin about the third week.
Dates will be posted on the Neuroscience Bulletin Board. Four exams will be given during the Neuroscience course during the times designated in the course schedule. Challenges to exam questions will be accepted in writing by the course director by 5 PM within two days following each exam. No adjustments to exam grades will be considered for alleged scoring errors on the computer grading sheets. As mentioned in the course objectives, it is expected that students will acquire an understanding of the fundamental relationships of all functional systems that are presented throughout the course.
