OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim is to provide knowledge about the characteristics and functions of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, and to enable students to distinguish between functional disorders that may develop as a result of dysfunctions in these neuroanatomical structures.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Basic characteristics of the peripheral nervous system, the muscles it innervates and the clinical features of its pathologies; the anatomy, functions, and clinical features of the spinal cord, brainstem, and diencephalon; the clinical features of the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system; the development of the human auditory nervous system; the neural structures of the hearing and balance systems; the neuroanatomy of language and speech; the development of linguistic organization in the human brain; and the relationship between language and the brain.
