|
MODULE 10 - LOBES OF THE BRAIN |
Module 10 of the Diplomate in Neurology Program emphasizes the stereotactic relationships of the lobes of the human brain to function. The breadth of information in this knowledge area module is specific to the anatomy and physiology of the lobes of the brain and the specific functional relationships of specific brain areas to general and specific plastic human expression. The depth of information in this knowledge area will be specific to clinical applications utilizing non pharmaceutical and non surgical methodology. Clinical techniques specific to the application of the knowledge area will be introduced.The following references have been utilized by Prof. Carrick in his preparation of his lecture on the Lobes of the Brain. The abstracts of these references are the reading requirements for this module. Due to the changing state of knowledge in the field of brain there are No Text Required Readings Or References for this module that represent the current level of knowledge represented in these references. |
|
MODULE 11 - SENSORY SYSTEMS |
The following references were utilized by Prof. Dr. Frederick Carrick for his lecture on the Sensory Systems Module 11. Of interest to learners is the integration of the mesolimbic and substantianigral dominergic activating systems in concert with perception and sensory integration. Prof. Dr. Carrick's reading requirements for the Sensory Systems Module are DeJong's Neurological Examination, Lippincott-Raven Chapters 5-8 |
|
MODULE 12 - MOTOR SYSTEMS |
The following chapters in DeJong's Textbook "Neurological Examination" are recommended readings prior to the module Motor Systems as taught by Prof. Dr. Frederick Robert Carrick. Chapter 11 Ocular Nerves Chapter 26 Function of the Motor Systems Chapter 27 Motor Strength and Power Chapter 31 Abnormal Movements |
|
MODULE 13 - 15 Neurological Influences I-II-III |
The textbook that is utilized by Prof. Dr. Frederick R Carrick are reference for Autonomic Controls 1-3 is "A Textbook of Clinical Disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System. Oxford, Oxford University Press" This text is a comprehensive compilation of information that is very strong in application. It should be a standard text in your neurology library. Although this text is dated, its applications are very specific to the modern day neurologist and literature searches listed for these lectures will update any errors in the text.
