MEDI 8511 Mind, Brain and Behavior
The Mind, Brain and Behavior module provides an integrated approach to the basic and clinical science concepts related to the central and peripheral nervous systems, covering the structure and function of the brain and mind including how these systems interact with the environment to determine and influence behavior. Students are exposed to and participate in a comprehensive introduction to neuroscience of the human nervous system, both typical and pathological. Through active learning methods, students learn the major features of common neurological, neurosurgical, psychiatric and psychological disorders, as well as various somatic, psychosocial, and environmental interventions. The primary emphasis is on the core aspects of neurosciences, psychiatry, and neurology necessary for medical practice; however, all experiences within the course also include information on the relevant ethical/professional issues, research approaches and other relevant associated content areas. Self-directed, independent online activities and resources are offered throughout the course. Learning activities will include case-based instruction and team-based learning in combination with neuroanatomy and neuropathology laboratories, online tutorials and interactive, personalized, adaptive instruction and self-study. Assessments will include discrete point formative and summative activities and exams, simulations, laboratory activities and reports, observation during interdisciplinary rounds and self-assessment.
