The objective of the course will be to provide a general overview of the current state of knowledge concerning the pathophysiology and therapeutic approaches to central nervous system injury. The course will provide a strong working background concerning the issues, techniques and frontiers of neurotrauma therapeutic discovery research aimed at reducing acute post-traumatic neurodegeneration in the injured brain or spinal cord or enabling regeneration and repair.

A multidisciplinary discussion of how the process of aging affects biological systems. Coverage will be quite broad and includes topics such as subcellular and cellular aging, genetics, immunology, anatomy and physiology, animal model of aging, etc.

An explanation of the processes which contribute to the development of the nervous system. Neurophysiological, cell biological and molecular approaches to cell differentiation, neuronal pathfinding and synapse formation and stabilization will be explored and discussed. Examples will be drawn from both vertebrate and invertebrate preparations.

A survey of selected basic and specialized mammalian tissues most commonly involved in diseases treated by physical therapists. The course provides information required for understanding the cellular mechanisms behind the various diseases and the rationale for subsequent treatment.

A concise account of the functional anatomy of the central nervous system. The anatomical organiza- tion is correlated with physiological activity. Emphasis is placed upon the morphological basis for progressively higher levels of control of activity from the simple reflex to voluntary motor activities controlled by the cerebral cortex. This type of know- ledge is required for proper understanding and perfor- mance of physical therapy technicians in the treatment of medical and surgical disease.

With the advice and approval of the faculty adviser and the Student Progress and Promotions Committee, the fourth-year student may choose approved electives offered by the various departments in the College of Medicine. The intent is to provide the student an opportunity to develop his/her fund of knowledge and clinical competence.

Introduction to analog, physical, and digital tools and techniques for 2D drawing, 3D modeling, fabrication, and rendering to visualize, communicate, simulate, and analyze architectural and environmental conditions. Lecture: one hour; laboratory: four hours per week.

Intermediate Studies in software, fabrication, and technique that leverages the creative, analytical, and generative potential of analog, digital, and physical tools in the design, simulation, construction, and communication of architecture. Lecture: one hour; laboratory: four hours per week.

An overview of the key themes and historical developments in architecture from the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries. Emphasis on Western examples and relationships with earlier and later conditions, including contemporary problematics.

Investigates modern and late twentieth century architecture as well as current themes and issues in contemporary architecture in relation to their historical context. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
