Methods
- Spatial & temporal resolution
- Spatial–microscope (high/fine resolution) vs. telescope (low/poor)
- Temporal–stopwatch (high/fine) vs. calendar (low/poor)
- Structural vs. functional
- Invasive vs. non-invasive
Methods (continued)
- MRI
- structural
- diffusion tensor imaging-DTI
- functional MRI-fMRI
- CT
- EEG & ERP, MEG
- Stimulation (chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical
Neuroanatomy
- Meninges
- Directions & slices
- Hindbrain, midbrain, forebrain & ventricular landmarks
- Lobes of the cerebral cortex & some primary functions
- Fissures & sulci
Neuroanatomy
- CNS vs. PNS
- Autonomic vs. somatic parts of PNS
- Sympathetic vs. parasympathetic divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System
Cellular neuroscience
- Glia
- Astrocytes, oligodendrocytes & Schwann cells, microglia
- Neuronal anatomy
- Dendrites, soma, axons, axon terminals, synapse
- Resting potential – what is it & why does it occur
- \([K^+]\) story (where concentrated, direction of flow, effect on membrane voltage)
- \([Na^+]\) story (where concentrated, direction of flow, effect on membrane voltage)
- Action potential and propagation – how & why
- threshold, rising phase, peak, falling phase, return to resting potential
