[FUN_Mail] Neurobiology of Disease course

[DJ Brasier]

I've taught a Neurobiology of Disease course for the past 2 springs at 
CMU.  During those terms, it met 3 times a week for 50 minutes.  We have 
rearranged some things, so I will be teaching it again this coming Fall 
(it will switch to 2 80-minute/week classes).

In the past 2 years, I used a textbook called "Neuroanatomy through 
clinical cases".  I love the book (even though it is geared toward 
Medical students) and still plan to use it as a supplemental text. 
However, I've come to the realization that I am powerless to teach some 
of the spinal cord anatomy in a way that engages my students, so I've 
jettisoned that and will be focusing more on Psychiatric cases.  I've 
struggled to find a good textbook for this, and ultimately gave up and 
will just be using my own readings (which I actually prefer for other 
reasons as well).  [If anyone knows of a good clinical psych textbook, 
I'd be happy to hear about it.]

In any case, the syllabus for last spring and the coming fall are attached.

Best,
DJ

The clinical component includes patient visit and run by neurology and psychiatry physicians and residents. There is no exam. Evaluation is based on weekly 1 page essays on papers discussed in class after the basic science lecture and the submission of a research proposal (6 pages long, NRSA format) on a translational research topic (different from thesis work).
