3 B Objectives 1. What is the main purpose for this course? The aims of this module are to enable the student to: A) Outline the overall organization of the Central Nervous System and the location of the fundamental relation between nervous system structures and function as illustrated by both normal and pathological conditions. B) Study the structure and organization of special senses in relation to normal and abnormal functions. C) Acquire skills and working knowledge of the principles and concepts applicable to the CNS and special senses, in general. Acquire skills of data acquisition, analysis and problem solving in the context of the structure and function of the CNS. 2. Briefly describe any plans for developing and improving the course that are being implemented. (e.g. increased use of IT or web based reference material, changes in content as a result of new research in the field) We are planning in future to put the course in the faculty website. C.
