Summer 2023 Online Courses

Behavioral & Cognitive Neurology - Registration is closed

24 CE Credits (course begins May 1, 2023 ends July 24, 2023)

The goal of this 12-week course is to provide students with an overview of the behavioral geography and large scale networks of the brain and to review the disorders of higher cortical functions and the major neurobehavioral syndromes, including frontal lobe syndromes, hemispheric asymmetries, attention and confusional states, memory and amnesias, aphasia and related disorders, affective prosody and aprosodias, disorders of complex visual processing, and the dementias.

Clinical Neuroanatomy -Registration is closed

30 CE Credits (course begins May 1, 2023 ends August 14, 2023) 

The goal of this 15-week course is to provide students with a working knowledge of the basic neuroanatomic structures of the central nervous system including the motor system, somatosensory system, cranial nerves, cerebellum, basal ganglia, limbic structures, ventricles, meninges, and the vascular supply of the brain. After each major system, structure, or anatomical pathway is presented, the consequences of damage to that system will be presented. These are referred to as “Key Clinical Concepts” in your textbook and throughout these modules. Furthermore, clinical cases will be presented to help solidify the anatomical facts. In this fashion, the neuroanatomical details will take on clinical relevance, and thus a deeper appreciation of how the central nervous system operates will hopefully be attained.

Neuropsychology of Epilepsy and Epilepsy Surgery -Registration is closed

16 CE Credits (course begins May 1, 2023 end June 26, 2023)

This course will systematically review the major seizure disorders and syndromes. Students will learn how diagnostic tests, such as EEG and structural neuroimaging, are used in epilepsy evaluations. In addition, leading treatment options, including pharmacologic therapies and surgery, will be reviewed. Special emphasis will be placed on the known cognitive and behavioral consequences of specific epilepsy syndromes and antiepileptic drugs. Discussion of the role of neuropsychological assessment in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment will include pre  and post surgical cognitive evaluation, cortical stimulation mapping, functional neuroimaging, and the intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) procedure. The cognitive and psychiatric disorders in epilepsy (including psychogenic nonepileptic seizures) will be considered.
