NSUR 121: Introduction to Experimental Modeling of Brain Disorders

This course provides students with hands-on opportunities to learn how animal models can be applied to enhance the understanding of brain disorders and brain injury. The course is comprised of lectures, technical demonstrations and labs. Conditions discussed include ischemic stroke, acute brain injury, Alzheimer¿s disease, Parkinson¿s disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and autism. For each condition, concepts introduced include characteristics of the animal model, core principles for in vivo study design, and techniques for quantifying disease-relevant variables. This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students with or without prior rodent experience.

NSUR 123: Neurosurgical Frameworks for Clinical Neuroscience

The objective of this course is to explore clinical neuroscience through a neurosurgical perspective through didactics and case studies with small groups. Through this course, students will achieve a basic understanding of neuroanatomy and clinical correlations for neuropathology. Topics covered will involve different intracranial hemorrhages and their management, spinal cord injuries, commonly diagnosed central nervous system tumors and current advances in treatment, ethical decision making, differential diagnoses of altered mental status, neurotrauma evaluations, and functional neurological disorders. Each week will alternate with an hour-long interactive lecture and small group case study. There will also be guest speakers who are former neurosurgical patients who will describe their experiences. No exams or homework will be given; one case presentation at the end of the course demonstrating knowledge of neuroanatomy and pathology will be given by students to demonstrate learning. T more »

There will also be opportunities to interface with the Stanford Department of Neurosurgery and shadow neurosurgical cases in the operative room and intensive care unit. Overall, this course is meant to introduce students to the neurosciences through a clinical lens and inspire a passion for pursuing a career in neurology and neurosurgery.

NSUR 199: Undergraduate Research

Students undertake investigations sponsored by individual faculty members. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-18 | Repeatable for credit

NSUR 200: Narratives in Neurosurgery

Introduces medical, non-medical graduate and undergraduate students to careers in neurosurgery. Focuses on a progressive walk through the educational milestones of a neurosurgical career, starting with perspectives of 4th year medical students and working up to day-to-day functions and lifestyles of senior neurosurgical faculty. Additional topics covered include: global health neurosurgery, private practice neurosurgery, and academic neurosurgery.

NSUR 210: Operative Neuroanatomy Using Virtual Reality and Cadaver Lab

This course will employ virtual reality (VR) tools in parallel with cadaveric specimens to demonstrate techniques used in neurosurgical oncology (including skull-based tumors and cortical tumors,) treatment of brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, cavernomas, and more. Lab sessions will first introduce the relevant neuroanatomy using the VR headsets, and then give students an opportunity to analyze the pathological findings in VR, discuss, and evaluate different methods of repair. Relevant anatomy and surgical approaches will also be discussed using prepared cadaveric specimens. the course is comprised of four three-hour-long evening lab sessions at the Stanford Neurosurgical Simulation and Virtual Reality Center.

NSUR 232: Fundamentals of Clinical Reasoning in Neurosurgery

This weekly case-based discussion series will feature prevalent cases in neurosurgery. By the end of the course, students will be able to have working heuristics for reading XR, CT, and MRI images for spinal and cranial pathologies, generate differential diagnoses for common neurosurgical presentations, understand basics in operative management, and consider bioethical issues involved with difficult neurosurgical cases. Each class will be run in a socratic seminar style with didactics built into the cases.

NSUR 239: NeuroTech Training Seminar (STATS 242)

This is a required course for students in the NeuroTech training program, and is also open to other graduate students interested in learning the skills necessary for neurotechnology careers in academia or industry. Over the academic year, topics will include: emerging research in neurotechnology, communication skills, team science, leadership and management, intellectual property, entrepreneurship and more.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1 | Repeatable 9 times (up to 9 units total)

NSUR 244: Workshop on Translational Behavioral Pharmacology

The course is a one week-long, in-person, interactive course on practical, mechanistic, and ethological aspects of rodent behavioral testing for translational research with emphasis on applications for drug discovery and neurodegenerative disease models. The course is comprised of theoretical and technical lectures as well as hands-on testing trials and demonstrations. The overall goal of the course is to enable researchers with minimal or no rodent behavioral experience to independently design, conduct, and analyze behavioral pharmacology studies. Topics may include learning & memory, sensory & motor, anxiety & mood, addiction, and automated methods. This course is open to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students as well as postdocs. Prior rodent handling experience is not required. Notes: This is a one-week course that meets M-F, 9 am to 3 pm. Attendance is required for the entire one-week duration of the course. Please contact the instructor to obtain dates that the course will be held and a permission code to enroll.

NSUR 249: Experimental Immersion in Neuroscience (STATS 249)

This course provides students from technical backgrounds (e.g., physics, applied physics, electrical or chemical engineering, bioengineering, computer science, statistics) the opportunity to learn how they can apply their expertise to advancing experimental research in the neurosciences. Students will visit one neuroscience lab per week to watch experiments, understand the technical apparatus and animal models being used, discuss the questions being addressed, and interact with students and others conducting the research. This course is strongly encouraged for students who wish to apply to the NeuroTech graduate training program. Our course has limited enrollment, therefore, if you are interested in registering please complete the form here: https://forms.gle/QXmkVfCqeS4zHmwB7 prior and someone will follow-up with you with a permission code accordingly.
