This course teaches the structural (anatomical, histological) and functional (physiological) features of the organs in the central nervous system and their movement, sensation and associative functions.

1. Lists the components of the central nervous system (CNS)
2. Explains the functional hierarchical structure and functioning of the CNS
3. Lists the structures and functions of the motor cortex, descending pathways, motor planning and regulation
4. Explains the structural and functional characteristics of the cerebral hemispheres
5. Defines the functions of cortex regions in memory and cognitive functions, knows the asymmetric structure
6. Explains the functioning of sensory systems
7. Defines the structure and functions of the eye and visual pathways, defines the structure and functions of the hearing, ear and hearing-balance pathways
8. Defines the taste and smell pathways
9. Defines the somatic sensation and pain sensation, knows the somatic sensation and pain pathways
10. Knows the vessels and circulatory characteristics of the central nervous system
11. Defines the brain membranes, cavities, CSF structure and functions
12. Recognizes the organs and structures of the CNS components, shows them on models and cadavers
13. Distinguishes the CNS components and sensory organs microscopically
14. Knows how to record and evaluate EEG
15. Recognizes cellular injury microscopically
