Aim of this course to discuss the basic neurophysiological and neuro-pathological processes in detail. The first part of the course will include basic neuro-pathophysiological mechanisms like calcium cytotoxicity, free radicals and free radical damage, protein aggregation disorders leading to neurodegeneration, apoptosis, and necrosis. Students have assignment for making a presentation regarding one of the pathophysiological mechanism. At the second part of the course pathophysiological processes leading to neuro psychiatric disorders like epilepsy, headache and pain, psychosis, anxiety disorders, subarachnoid hemorrhage and trauma will be discussed in detail. Before fina examination, student have to present a journal paper regarding disease mechanisms learned.

The use of animal models provides significant information in the understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of nervous system diseases and disorders in humans. The purpose of this course is to understand the depth of knowledge regarding the methodological principles and concepts in animal models. This course will give students an introduction to basic physiological, anatomical and histological characteristics of laboratory animals. On completion of this course, the students will be familiar with the animal models best suited to study human nervous system disease and disorders.

This course is non-credit and aims to increase the scientific interaction between students and improve their presentation skills with the participation of students from all interdisciplinary programs. The Seminar course which is consisting of presentation of the studies and researches in front of the community within the framework of the techniques determined with the guidance of the advisor, and question and answer part are graded each semester.
