Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Histology
Cortex, (neo and archi), cerebellum, spinal cord.
Neurophysiology:
- Electroencephalogram
- Evoqued potentials (motor and sensitive)
- Electroneuromyogram and nerve velocity studies
Dissection of the human brain: Skull bones, meninges and CSF ; the brain in frontal, horizontal and sagital slices; the cerebellum, the brainstem; vessels of the brain.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Histology of the Central Nervous System
The student will be able to identify various structures (tissues, cells, anatomical regions) within the CNS:
- Neocortex, cerebellum cortex, archicortex
- Choroid plexus within the ventricles
- Meninges
- Spinal cord horns and tracts, spinal cord levels according white/gray matter distribution, roots, ganglia,...
The student will be able to:
- recognize rythms and artefacts on an electroencephalogram
- understand and interpret evoked potentials and electroneuromyography
Students will have acquired the basic principles which allow them to correlate anatomy, imaging and neurological symptomes, in preparation for clinical neurological diagnosis.
Dissection of the human brain
Students will be able to identify various structures, tracts, nuclei, vessels...within frontal, horizontal and sagital sections.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The structure and function of the nervous underlying the concepts taught during these practical sessions are required. For the precise courses that are required which provide these notions, see course programme
Prérequis
ANAT0224-1 - Introduction à l'anatomie humaine, y compris l'introduction à l'embryologie générale
Corequis
NERF0130-5 - Approche multidisciplinaire du système nerveux
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Histology of the Central Nervous System
After an introductory reminder of the basic histological concepts, work on the microscope.
Neurophysiology
Small groups (10 students) lead by a teacher. After an introductory reminder: exercises of EEG, EP and ENMG reading and measurements of nerve conduction velocity using the software "Lab Tutor".
Anatomo-radioclinical perspectives
Présentation in the auditorium: discussion of clinical and imaging cases.
Dissection of the human brain
Virtual "TP" on the e-campus platform, based on brain dissection videos with explanations.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
- Dissection of the Human brain: on line / e-campus
- Neurophysiology: on site + videos on line
- Anatomo-radioclinical perspectives: on site
- CNS histology: on site
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
Written exam (with slide projection)
Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
Please respect the groups you are assigned to.
