In addition, students in the Neuroscience Specialty will take two of the core courses in Biological Sciences (BIOL 8101-8302). Courses
Elective Courses
Graduate Courses
Students in the Neuroscience Specialty may choose electives from any of the graduate courses in Biological Sciences Courses
Neuroscience Specialty Courses:
BISC 5140 Functional Neuroanatomy. Examines the basic structure and function of the central nervous system from spinal cord to cerebral cortex. Material will be presented within both clinical and basic contexts. Based on the understanding of the normal circuitry and function of the brain, clinically relevant neurological disorders and basic neuroanatomical methods explored. Laboratory included. Offered spring term.
BISC 6120 Medical Pharmacology. Fundamentals of human pharmacology and basic principles dictating drug actions within the human body with emphasis on applications in general medicine. Focuses on the therapeutic actions and clinical applications of various drug classes. Topics include: cellular mechanisms, physiological responses, adverse reactions, drug-drug interactions, and clinical indications, accompanied by discussion on the pathological conditions for which common therapeutic agents are used. Applications of pharmacology commonly encountered by physician assistants are presented and are reinforced through interactive clinically correlated lectures presented by practicing physicians and physician assistants.
