Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Schedule

Schedule online

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.
