Representative Syllabus Content of Future Courses May Vary

This document provides information about an APPH 4400 Human Neuroanatomy course, including instructor details, textbook recommendations, course description, grading breakdown, and semester schedule. The purpose of the course is to examine the anatomical structure of the human nervous system in detail, with links made to function and comparisons to other vertebrate neuroanatomy. Students will be evaluated based on three exams, with graduate exams asking comprehensive questions and undergraduates receiving non-comprehensive, content-directed exams. The semester schedule outlines the topics to be covered in each class over 16 weeks.

While this text is not emphatically required, it really is a good idea to find a copy. All readings will come from
chapters in this text. Another option is Human Neuroanatomy: A Text, Brain Atlas and Laboratory Dissection
Guide (Bruni & Montemurro, ISBN: 978-0195371420). Occasionally different texts and references use
slightly different terms to define the same anatomical structures, so caution is given to branching out too
wide. You will be evaluated based on what is presented in this class.

General Course Description:


The purpose of this course is to learn the anatomical makeup of the human nervous system. In this course
we will closely examine details of central and peripheral neuroanatomy with links to function where appropriate.
As well, comparisons with non-human vertebrate neuroanatomy will be made. We will also regularly link clinical
and research perspectives into lectures.
The study of human neuroanatomy can be a challenge, but will be a challenge worth the effort. The
expected outcome of this course is to have a very firm knowledge of human neuroanatomy and have a very strong
familiarity of the overall architecture and integration of the nervous system.

Course Grading:

Exams (3)33% each


Total 100%
**Exam content will differ for graduate students, which will be asked comprehensive and applied
questions. Undergraduate exams will be non-comprehensive and content directed.
