Enrollment is limited. Offered in 1999-2000 and subsequent alternate years. A multidisciplinary graduate level course exposing students to the clinical aspects of neuroscience. Didactic lectures cover detailed organization of the nervous system with clinical implications. Laboratories review basic neuroanatomy and pathology.
Clinical demonstrations expose students to several neurological disorders.
Prerequisites Enrolement in graduate faculty and involvement in neuroscience research. A course for graduate students to explore more advanced concepts of sensorimotor integration in the nervous system. The course will consist of weekly sessions focusing on specific concepts such as feature detection, population coding, sensorimotor transformations, reflexes versus voluntary control, central pattern generators. The anatomy and physiology of the auditory system. Topics to be covered include the nature of sound, its synthesis, measurement, and propagation through the wnvironment, peripheral filtering, physiology and modelling of hair cells, physiology and anatomy of auditory pathways from cochlear to cortex, neural processing of complex sounds and auditory events, auditory localization and comparative aspects of auditory processing.
