Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to provide a detailed examination of the cortex structures and the organization of this system. It is aimed for students to distinguish the structure of the cortex cerebri, to explain the anatomical basis of cortex lesions in clinical cases and to interpret the relevant literature.
Course Content
The course aims to distinguish the basic structure of the cortex cerebri, its functional anatomy, the Brodmann map, and the clinical reflections of cortex cerebri degeneration.
Course Precondition
There are no prerequisites for the course.
Resources
1. Current articles and online resources 2. Dere Anatomi Atlası ve Ders Kitabı 3. Dere Atlaslı Nöroanatomi ve Fonksiyonel Nöroloji
Notes
Additional readings will be assigned during the course.
