Central Nervous System: Neuroanatomy

Description: The nervous system controls, organizes and communicates with the various tissues that make up an organism. It is the primary command center of the body. Every perception, be it taste, touch, smell, or sight is mediated through the nervous system. Every action begins with nervous system activation. The various components of the nervous system integrate sensory information gathered from the body and relay it to the brain, which ultimately determines the appropriate response. This course describes the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, and presents the different imaging techniques currently in use to study nervous system physiology and disease.
