Description
Outline of mammalian functional neuroanatomy, aided by studies of comparative neuroanatomy and evolution, and of brain development. Topics include early steps to a central nervous system, basic patterns of brain and spinal cord connections, regional development and differentiation, regeneration, motor and sensory pathways and structures, systems underlying motivations, innate action patterns, formation of habits, and various cognitive functions. Lab techniques reviewed. Optional brain dissections.

Customer Reviews
Bad recording
Good speaker but horrible recording. There was too much background noise.
Really disappointed when I heard ""if you see here and there..."
Why isnt it a video? We need it to b so
Completely useless
This is completely useless without video because the course material is very visual eg structures of various parts of the brain
