Functional Neuroanatomy: Learn with the University of Cambridge Online

Neuroscience is one of the fastest growing areas of life sciences with functional neuroanatomy (the study of the structure and function of the brain) becoming an important area of study for the clinical practice of neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology and psychiatry. Discover how key anatomical features of the brain and spinal cord underlie functions and how damage to these structures can lead to specific functional deficits, for example, due to stroke, trauma or neurodegenerative disease. Through a series of videos and images from the University of Cambridge dissecting rooms, you’ll be able to visualise brain structure at different levels and explore the regions of the brain involved in sensory, motor, emotional and cognitive function. This course will provide you with the knowledge to identify brain and spinal cord pathology and the associated clinical signs in patients. It will give you the confidence to apply this knowledge to clinical scenarios, through practice with real-life examples in clinical puzzles and hands-on activities. Our Functional Neuroanatomy course is certified by The Society of British Neurological Surgeons as conforming to continuing professional development principles. This course has an estimated 48 hours of learning. To learn more about this course or Cambridge Advance Online, visit https://advanceonline.cam.ac.uk/courses/functional-neuroanatomy
