SUBJECT DESCRIPTION FORM Subject title: Clinical Neuroscience Subject code: 502285030 Credit value: 4 Responsible staff and department: Gao Qiang (the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, West China Hospital) Jufang He(RS) Pre-requisites: RS5101 Functional Anatomy Recommended background knowledge: Nil Mutual exclusions: Nil Learning approaches: Contact hours: Lecture 55 hours Tutorial 17 hours Sub-total: 72 hours Assessment: Case presentation 20% Middle term written-test 30% The attention 20% Final term written-test 30% Objectives: On completion of the module, the student should be able to: Analyze mechanisms of information processing which occur at different levels of the nervous system. Analyze functions of the nervous system, e.g., sensorimotor: sensation; control of posture, locomotion, reaching; higher cortical functions: attention, learning, memory, perception, language. Integrate knowledge of the structure and function of the nervous system to explain selected ‘altered’ states, i.e., due to development, injury or disease. Read and summarize information from the scientific and professional literature. Synthesize information on the adaptive range of the nervous system in order to explain: the recovery of function following an injury the subsequent functioning of the system, post-injury the continued development of an altered system Introduce knowledge about the frontiers of the neuroscience researches.
