NENS 230: Analysis Techniques for the Biosciences Using MATLAB

Data analysis and visualization techniques commonly encountered in biosciences research. Fundamentals of the MATLAB computing environment, programming and debugging, data import/export, data structures, plotting, image analysis, introduction to statistical tools. Examples and assignments draw from a range of topics applicable to bioscience research: frequency analysis, genetic data mining, ion channel kinetics, neural spike rasters and spike-triggered averages, cell counting in fluorescence images, regression, PCA, and stochastic simulation. Assignments are practical in nature and demonstrate how to implement specific analyses that a biosciences student is likely to encounter. Assumes no previous programming experience.

NENS 250S: Windows Into the Brain: Unlocking Mysteries through Neurologic Disease

Dementia, epilepsy, Parkinson¿s disease, stroke, brain tumors, MS, traumatic brain injury, headaches, and many other neurologic diseases inflict a tremendous toll on the individual and society. In this course, using material adapted from what is taught second-year medical students at the Stanford School of Medicine, we will explore different neurologic ailments to provide a window into the mysteries of brain function (and dysfunction). All that is needed is a solid background in high school biology, and the burning desire to dive deep into the complex and fascinating world of clinical neuroscience. Students will be provided the background neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropathology that is necessary to understand the underpinnings, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of some of the most common diseases that affect the central nervous system. Lectures are taught by clinical faculty from the Department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences and will use real cases, neuroimaging, and videos in an interactive and stimulating setting. Students will learn about the cutting-edge technologies used in 2020 in Neurology and Neurosurgery to manage patients with these illnesses. Get ready for an exciting and dynamic sneak peek into medical school and the mysteries of the human brain!

NENS 267: Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Disease (BIO 267, GENE 267)

The epidemic of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease occasioned by an aging human population. Genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms. Clinical aspects through case presentations.This class is open to both graduate and undergraduate students, but requires sufficient backgrounds in college level genetics, cell biology and biochemistry. Undergraduates who are interested are required to contact the course director first.

NENS 301A: Neurology Core Clerkship

VISITING: Closed to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Required. DESCRIPTION: The Neurology Core Clerkship is designed to train students in the systematic, logical approach to clinical neurology via the comprehension and application of the neurologic history and physical exam in the evaluation and management of neurological diseases. Responsibilities differ among the clerkship sites, however a common core of teaching and exposure to a variety of neurologic patients encounters and experiences will be presented to all students. Complete evaluation of neurologic patients through competent performance and interpretation of the neurologic history and examination and command of the practical knowledge of clinical conditions affecting the nervous system is anticipated by the end of the clerkship. Students are assigned to the following locations for training: Stanford Hospital Neurology Inpatient Wards; Stanford Neurology Adult Outpatient Clinics; Stanford Hospital Neurology Intensive Care Unit; Stanford Neurosurgery service; Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Child Neurology Inpatient Consultation service; Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC) Neurology Inpatient Consultation and Outpatient Clinic services; the Palo Alto Veterans Administration (PAVA) Inpatient Consultation and Outpatient Clinic services. Selection of a 2 week experience at the Stanford Hospital Neurology Inpatient Ward, Stanford Hospital Neurology Intensive Care Unit, Stanford Neurosurgery, or Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Child Neurology Consultation service sites will be automatically paired with a 2 week experience in the Stanford Neurology Adult Outpatient Clinics to ensures clinical exposure to both inpatient and outpatient neurology at every clerkship site and all these venues satisfy the core graduation requirement for the Required Neurology Clerkship. Regardless of site location, students are expected to attend the core didactics of the clerkship in person at Stanford School of Medicine main campus (or virtually during the COVID19 pandemic) that take place once weekly on Wednesdays and end at 6:00PM, as well as a mandatory in-person, full-day orientation on the first day of the period. Passing of the NBME Subject Exam in Neurology is a required component of the clerkship and materials for study are provided to each student in support of this effort. PREREQUISITES: None. For students requesting placement on neurosurgery service, preference is given to students who have completed the core surgical clerkship. However, student must have completed formal OR SCRUB TRAINING. Advanced students with clerkship experience are preferred for the neurocritical care (ICU) site placement. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-12, full-time for 4 weeks, 4-9 students per period. CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Kenneth Leung, M.D., leungk25@stanford.edu and Brian J. Scott, M.D., bjscott@stanford.edu. CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR: Brittany Rodriguez, MPH, bayleen@stanford.edu. REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS: Where: TBA; Time: TBA. CALL CODE: 1. OTHER FACULTY: Neurology, Neurosurgery and Neuro Pediatrics staff. LOCATION: SUMC, PAVAMC, SCVMC, LPCH.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 6

NENS 307A: Advanced Clinical Elective in Child Neurology

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 2. DESCRIPTION: The advanced clerkship in child neurology is geared toward the student drawn toward a residency in child neurology or another specialty field in the neurosciences. The student will be asked and required to function at an intern level. During the month, the student will meet with our division chief, residency director, clerkship director, and resident buddy, and will receive a book stipend. Specific requirements will include: 1. Being the primary source of contact for his or her assigned hospital patients. 2. First on-call (from 0800 until 1700, with close resident back-up) for the Child Neurology service (team A or team B) at LPCH on at least 2 weekdays during a 3-week block. 3. Documenting in the Electronic Medical Record at least 5 (five) inpatient consultations. 4. Availability for weekend rounds and/or consults on 1 weekend. 5. Presentation/facilitation of one primary research article at the Thursday noon Jour more »
