- MD12.01 Development of Central Nervous SystemExplain embryologic development of the central nervous system, including neural tube formation, brain vesicle differentiation, and neural crest migration, to understand congenital CNS anomalies and developmental neurologic disorders.0
- MD12.02 Anatomy of Central Nervous SystemIdentify gross and microscopic anatomy of the brain, spinal cord, ventricles, meninges, and blood supply, correlating structural organization with neurologic function and clinical localization.0
- MD12.03 Physiology of Central Nervous SystemDescribe neuronal signaling, synaptic transmission, sensory and motor pathways, reflexes, autonomic control, and higher cortical functions to explain normal CNS function and regulation.0
- MD12.04 Pathology of Central Nervous SystemAnalyze CNS disorders including cerebrovascular disease, infections, neurodegenerative conditions, demyelinating disorders, tumors, and trauma, linking pathophysiology to clinical manifestations and imaging findings.0
- MD12.05 Pharmacology of Central Nervous SystemExplain mechanisms, indications, and adverse effects of CNS drugs including anesthetics, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, antidepressants, sedatives, and neurodegenerative disease therapies.0
- MD12.06 Clinical Examination of Central Nervous SystemDevelop skills in neurologic history-taking, mental status evaluation, cranial nerve examination, motor and sensory testing, reflex assessment, and interpretation of neuroimaging and diagnostic studies.0
