Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: To teach motor cortex areas, spinal cord descending pathways, hypothalamus, autonomic nervous system, sleep and homeostasis
Course Content: The student is expected to learn the mechanisms of autonomic functions regulated in the brainstem, mesencephalon and hypothalamus. In parallel with this, the necessary basic knowledge about the reticular activating system and sleep will be given.
