Course Overview

> The general objectives of this course are to:

-
Discover how Neuroanatomy is a living, dynamic field that needs to be
grasped in order to build an understanding of brain functions and how
they relate to structures;

-
Be able to relate Neuroanatomy to clinical cases.

Learning Achievement

Competence

Course prerequisites

- Students should possess a Bachelor degree (180 ECTS) or equivalent
diploma in biology, biochemistry, biomedical sciences, medical
studies, pharmacy, cognitive sciences or psychology.
- A proven interest and solid basic knowledge in the field of
Neuroscience must be provided by students with a Bachelor degree in
another subject (chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science).
- Language prerequisite: fluency in English.

Grading Philosophy

- Students talks (2 per student): 20%.
- Final papers (2 x 1 hours): MCQ, clinical cases: 80%
- The final assessment takes place in early November and December.
- One re-sit is allowed.

Course schedule

> During the course, students will learn to:

-
Know the structures of the central nervous system and nomenclature

-
Understand the complex spatial relationships of the brain

-
Train spatial cognition in relation to brain structures and functions

-
Integrate knowledge of different functional systems through clinical
cases

- Understand the principles and interest of classical and modern
neuroanatomicalmethods

> The learning outcomes of this course are:

- Master the foundations of modern Neuroanatomy
- Apply the basic technical approaches of Neuroanatomy
- Have a general, precise and critical overview of Neuroanatomy, from
normal functioning to brain diseases
- Name the technical approaches of Neuroanatomy, explain their
theoretical groundings and know when to use them
