Course: From Human Neuroanatomy to Psychopathology

Transcription

1 MHeNs School for Mental Health and Neuroscience Course: From Human Neuroanatomy to Psychopathology February 22-25, 2016 Maastricht University / Euron

2 Programme Introduction This MHeNs course aims to introduce PhD students to basic concepts of neuroanatomy, functional neuroanatomy and neuropathology and will clarify the current knowledge on the neuroanatomical and neurobiological underpinnings of neuropsychiatric disorders. The course of 4 consecutive days starts at the first day with lectures on the development and cerebrovasculature of the brain followed by theoretical lessons on functional and structural MRI methodologies. On the second day we will continue the imaging part with visits of the MRI and TMS scanners. Thereafter students will get hands-on training on the neuroanatomy by real dissection of the human skull and brain. The third day of the course will focus on microscopical analysis of the human and rodent brain under normal and pathological conditions. The last day will link the functional and anatomical concepts to clinical neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, Parkinson s and Alzheimer s disease, affective disorders and developmental disorders. The multidisciplinary teaching staffconsists of expertsin thefields ofneuroanatomy, neuroscience, imaging, and clinical neuropsychiatry and will provide an excellent learning experience for PhD students working in neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology and psychology.
