AbstractAdvanced knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the nervous system.
Learning objectiveThe course equips students with advanced knowledge of the anatomical structure and function of the most important structures of the central nervous system. They will understand pathophysiological mechanisms and identify explanations for the occurrence of specific symptoms in neurological diseases. They will also be able to apply their knowledge to describe the mechanism of action of drugs. In addition, they learn the most important methods for analyzing the functions of the nervous system and will be able to use this knowledge to evaluate experimental data.
Content1. anatomy: How is the central nervous system structured?

2. motor control: which structures are involved in voluntary and involuntary movements?

3. sensory, somatosensory and sensorimotor integration: how is information from different systems integrated and interpreted by the brain?

4. Higher brain functions: What specializations enable us to speak and process emotions and feelings?
Prerequisites / NoticeWährend der Grundvorlesung (Anatomie und Physiologie 1) haben Sie bereits viele der in dieser Vorlesung behandelten Themen kennengelernt, allerdings nicht so detailliert. In dieser Vorlesung wird der Stoff der Grundvorlesung vertieft und erweitert. Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass Sie die in der Grundvorlesung besprochenen Inhalte bereits kennen. Der Stoff aus der Grundvorlesung wird nur teilweise repetiert.
Die Lektionen zur Neurophysiologie enthalten Einheiten des Selbststudiums. Dabei bearbeiten Sie Arbeitsaufträge in einem Polybook, um ein konzeptuelles Verständnis für die behandelten Themen zu entwickeln.
