Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
I. Dissection of the human brain and clinical applications
II. Histology of the central nervous system
III. Neurophysiology:
- Electroencephalogram
- Evoked potentials (motor and sensitive)
- Electroneuromyogram and nerve velocity studies
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
I. Dissection of the human brain and clinical application
- Students will be able to identify various structures, nuclei, functional areas, vessels...within frontal, horizontal and sagital sections of the brain.
- Students will have acquired the basic principles which allow them to correlate anatomy, imaging and neurological symptomes, in preparation for clinical neurological diagnosis.
II. 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,...
III. Neurophysiology
The student will be able to:
- recognize rythms and artefacts on an electroencephalogram
- understand and interpret evoked potentials and electroneuromyography
- measure motor conduction velocity
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
I. Dissection of the human brain and clinical application
Virtual "TP" on the e-campus platform, based on brain dissection videos with explanations.
II. Histology of the Central Nervous System
After an introductory reminder of the basic histological concepts, work on the microscope.
III. 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".
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
I. Dissection of the Human brain and clinical application
on line / e-campus
II. CNS histology
on site
III. Neurophysiology
on site + videos on line
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
All sessions will be given on-line, via e-campus
SESSION JANUARY 2021:
- WRITTEN , REMOTE EXAM
- E-CAMPUS plaftorm
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Usually: Written exam (with slide projection)
DEPENDING ON SANITARY CONDITIONS: on line written examination
Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
Please respect the groups you are assigned to.
