[FUN_Mail] Neurobiology of Disease course

Tue Jul 8 16:43:01 EDT 2014

I have used Lambert and Kinsley's Clinical Neuroscience text (Oxford University) that focuses on the neurobiology of mental illness/health with success.  But it may not hit all the neurology conditions for the Neurobiology of Disease course.  It is written for upper level undergrads but may be appropriate for lower level grad courses.  Of course, I'm the Lambert in Lambert & Kinsley, so you have to take that into consideration when considering my positive experience with the  text:).  I'm happy to share a syllabus for the undergraduate clinical neuroscience course if anyone is interested--it's my favorite course to teach.

Best,

~Kelly

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).
