About

The Neuroanatomy for Neuropsychologists course offered by University of Melbourne approaches brain structure from a number of perspectives.

Overview

What you will learn

The learning objectives of the Neuroanatomy for Neuropsychologists course offered by University of Melbourne are:

  • Map mature brain structures onto the developmental ground-plan of brain, showing an understanding of how the mature brain emerges from transformations of a fundamental tubular structure.
  • Describe the meningeal coverings of the brain, as well as their deep extensions, and will be able to classify superficial haemorrhagic collections in relation their meningeal location. Students will also be able to explain the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid.
  • Map the developmental ground plan onto the base of brain and recognise base of brain anatomical relations on cerebral imaging and post-mortem photographs. Students will also be able to identify selected regions of clinical significance and describe pathologies that arise in them.
  • Project the developmental ground plan of the brain onto the mature medial surface. They will also be able to explain the origin and organization of commissural structures uniting lateral and midline structures of the forebrain and will begin to identify anatomical planes of section on magnetic resonance images.
  • Describe the synergistic development of the cerebral hemisphere, commissural tracts, and ventricular system. They will also be able to identify selected cortical landmarks of clinical significance in various planes on magnetic resonance images and describe arterial territories.
  • Identify components of the limbic system and describe their connectivity. They will also be able to demonstrate the internal structure of the hippocampus and associated transitional structures on photographic and magnetic resonance images and explain the anatomical basis of limbic system syndromes.
  • Identify the components and organizational structure of the pyramidal and extrapyramidal motor systems from cortical origins to spinal outflow. Based on this understanding they will be able to explain the functional co-operation of the two motor systems, and the anatomical basis of motor impairments.

Programme Structure
