Neuroscience II BMED 662  Spring Semester 2007  Coordinator MT: Darrell Jackson, University of Montana, Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Skaggs Building Room SB243, 406-243-5761,  (Email) darrell.jackson@umontana.edu  Class hours: Tuesday 9 - 10 am (Mountain Time) SB 025  Wednesday and Friday 10-12 pm (Mountain Time) SB 025 or   SB 335  Textbook: (*Required)  1. *Nolte, The Human Brain, An Introduction to Its Functional Anatomy, 5th edition, Mosby, 2002. 2. Leonard, The Neuroscience of Human Movement, Mosby, 1998. 3. *Fundamental Neuroscience (2003) 2nd Edition              Ed. Squire, Bloom, McConnell, Spritzer, Zigmond   Course This 4 credit collaborative course with physical therapy (PT)—PT will provide a comprehensive overview of the architecture and function of neurological systems in mammals, particularly humans.  Each topic will address known or suspected pathologies and there will be clinical lectures. Topics addressed will include the sensory and motor systems, limbic system, pain, neuropathology, and CNS injuries.  Course Goals: • Develop an understanding of the function of fundamental neurological systems. • Understand pathologies and development of pathologies affecting distinct neurological systems • Contrast acute CNS injuries and repair mechanism to chronic CNS ailments  Learning Outcomes  1. Integrative function of several fundamental neurological systems 2. Understanding of neuropathology 3. Chronic neurological disorders 4. Acute neurological injuries 5. CNS repair mechanisms  Instructional Methods: The teaching methods employed in this collaborative course will include lectures by several instructors from UM.  Discussion will be integrated to relevant topics (neuropathology, CNS trauma).    1    Grading Students are responsible for all material covered in lectures and laboratory/study group activities.  Assigned textbook readings are meant to assist the student in their comprehension of course material.  The student’s grade will be based on four examinations.  The first and third examinations (50 points each) will be one hour long and include only written portions.  The second (midterm) and fourth (final) examinations (100 points each) will be two hours long and include written and photographic slide practical sections.  The midterm and final examinations will be comprehensive, covering all the material presented in the course to that point.  Course grades will be determined as follows: A = 90-100%, B = 80-89%, C =70-79%.    Point Distribution Exam 1   50 pts Exam  II   100 pts Exam III  50 pts Exam IV 100 pts  Total                300 pts  Course Policies Attendance:  Regular student attendance is expected. Active student participation is expected and will be taken into account in the final evaluation/grading. Exams: Four exams will be given. Extensions will only be allowed with pre-approval of the instructor or with an acceptable, documented reason such as unexpected illness, family emergencies or other unavoidable events.   2007 Course Schedule:  The following is a very broad outline and is very likely to change from week to week depending on class needs, faculty schedules, and student interest. Reading days might also be scheduled depending on student needs.
