• Courses Number/Name: CFS 513 – Neuroanatomy of the CNS and Development and CFS 525- Neuroanatomy of the PNS and Development
• Credit: Each Course is 4 Trimester Credit Hours
• Format: Live In-Person Lecture and Laboratory.
• Primary Content: Detailed study of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, including the cells of the nervous system, brain lobes (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital), the limbic system, brainstem, cranial nerves, and gross anatomy of the spinal cord.  Comprehensive study of the peripheral nervous system, including spinal cord and nerves, peripheral receptors, sensory pathways, motor units, and peripheral motor control.
• Clinical Integration: Instruction on normal embryological development and various congenital neurological disorders, autonomic nervous system, clinical localizations such as myotomes, dermatomes, and deep tendon reflexes and applying these principles to case studies /clinical problem-solving.

Specific Responsibilities:

• In-Person Instruction: Conduct weekly live lectures (3 hours) and laboratory sessions (2 hours) as scheduled.
• Laboratory Oversight: Facilitate the study of CNS structures in a lab setting, ensuring students can identify and understand the functional significance of neuroanatomical components. Familiarity with Anatomage tables is a plus.
• Assessment Management: Design and administer written examinations and practical "Lab Tests" to evaluate student mastery of both theoretical and anatomical knowledge.
• Academic Support: Provide introductory knowledge and guide students through basic clinical problem-solving using neurological case studies.
