| Title | Neuroanatomy from development to adulthood |
|---|---|
| Course number | 2285 |
| Program | Neurovetenskap |
| Language | English |
| Credits | 3.0 |
| Date | 2012-08-31 -- 2012-09-12 |
| Level | Forskarnivå |
| Responsible KI department | Institutionen för neurobiologi, vårdvetenskap och samhälle |
| Specific entry requirements | |
| Learning outcomes | 1) To understand the neuroanatomical base of unique feature of human brain development: specific lamination, cellular elements and timing of developmental events. 2) To identify and understand the macroanatomical and microscopical structures of adult human brain and their interconnections. 3) To understand the evolution of the human brain by comparisons with brains from other species. |
| Contents of the course | A) Development of human brain from fetal to newborn and perinatal period, with specific emphasis towards a transient fetal lamination pattern, migration and differentiation of the neurons, fetal neuronal circuits and plasticity in the fetal brain. The normal brain tissue will be demonstrated on microscope and on MRI images. B) Development and distribution of the connections in the brain, with specific emphasis on the frontal cortex circuits in the normal development and adulthood. The tracing method will be discussed and samples will be presented on microscopy. C) Main histological features of adult human brain, cytoarchitectonic differences between different regions and importants of thalamic and basal ganglia projection to the cortex. A specific emphasis to comparative anatomy of the cortex between different species: rats, dolphins, camel, macaqua, orangutan, will be presented on stained sections. |
| Type of teaching | Lectures, discussion, multiple and single microscopy, practical demonstration. |
| Examination | Electronic submission of answers to short questions, identification of pictures and an essay in the subject will be required for passing the course. |
| Compulsory elements | The entire course is compulsory. In case of absence, a possible compensation will be discussed with the course leader. |
| Number of students | 10 - 12 |
| Selection of students | Priority will be given to registred doctoral students with projects concerning human brain in health and disease, for whom detailed knowledge of human brain anatomy is required. |
| More detailed information | The course is part of the FRONTIERS IN NEUROSCIENCE Course series. The course is from Friday to Saturday and will include invited international speakers Nenad Bogdanovic from London/Stockholm, Ivica Kostovic from Croatia, Harry Uylings from Amsterdam and Helen Barbas från Boston. This course is a shorter version of the previously given course by Nenad Bogdanovic and will include the first part of the previous course 1800. Observe that the last course practical day is on a Saturday and students will be able to prepare exam during following 4 days until the 12st of September. The course will be given at the Pathology Department at Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge. |
