An introduction to the basic anatomical organisation and tissue structure of mammals, including the human. Emphasis is placed on understanding how structures are adapted for the functions they perform. Illustrations include comparing specialisations of different species. In laboratory classes anatomy is studied through microscopy, by dissection and by the inspection of pre-dissected specimens.

Some of the fundamental techniques used in neuroscience and appreciation of the application of these methods in understanding brain function and common disorders will be considered. Laboratory activities will provide exposure to the current use and application of these techniques in neuroscience research.
