Anatomy & Cell Biology (ACB)
A course centered about dissection of the human body in the laboratory. Lectures are designed to guide the student and stimulate him toward independent effort.
Morphology of the upper and lower limbs with dissection.
Morphology of the head and neck, thorax, and abdomen.
An in-depth study of the microanatomy and fine structure of human tissues, specifically designed for graduate students through special laboratories, lectures, and seminars.
Advanced theories and techniques of tissue preparation, straining, and histochemistry.
The gross and fine structure of the nervous system is correlated with function at each level of the spinal cord and brain. Lectures are supplemented in the laboratory by the study of microscopic sections and gross sections of the spinal cord, brain stem and whole brain.
The basic tissue types of the human body will be examined at the light and electron microscopic level.
The organ systems of the human body will be examined at the light and electron microscopic level.
A lecture course designed to present the salient features of normal human development so that students will have a basis for comprehending normal adult anatomic relations and variations, and a basis for interpreting congenital pathologic conditions.
To study the essential organization of the cerebrum and spinal cord, blood supply, the spinal ascending and descending pathways, and clinically related disorders.
Pre-req: BMS 600.
To study the functional organization and neurological disorders associated with the brainstem, thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, basal ganglia, limbic system, and cerebral cortex.
Pre-req: ACB 633.
Class participants will be exposed to state-of-the-art neuroanatomy research techniques while in the laboratories of neuroanatomy faculty.
Students carry out a guided comprehensive review of the Literature on a current research topic. The topic is selected by agreement of the student and faculty member.
The theory and practice of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Sample preparation, TEM operation, darkroom work, manuscript preparation, and an individualized research project. (PR: Consent of instructor)
An advanced exploration of the newest information on cellular signalling pathways. Special emphasis will be placed on current literature in following signal transduction from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. PR: BMS 600 or Equivalent
Provides the student with an introduction to research in cellular biology and neurobiology. The educational program is arranged in consultation with an individual faculty member. (PR: BMS 600 or equivalent).
An in-depth study of the theory and practice of fluorescence and confocal microscopy, intracellular ion measurements and immunocytochemistry. Working with instructor (two-four hours per week of lectures, laboratories, and individual discussions), the student will become familiar with aspects of research conducted in the laboratory and select an individualized research project.
Students carry out a guided comprehensive review of the Literature on a current research topic. The topic is selected by agreement of the student and faculty member. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
Present course material on special areas of research or topics which are not routinely covered in existing courses.

Present course material on special areas of research or topics which are not routinely covered in existing courses.
This course will consist primarily of laboratory dissection following initial orientation lectures. This will provide experience in human dissection that is currently not available in the prosection-based Gross Anatomy and Embryology course.
Elective for fourth-year medical students to review medical histology slides of normal tissues.
Students carry out a guided comprehensive review of the literature on a current research topic. The topic is selected by agreement of the student and the faculty member.
Provides the student with an introduction to reseaarch in cellular biology and neurosciences. The educational program is arranged in consultation with an individual faculty member.
