Neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychiatrists, and clinical neuroscientists will provide background to the major disorders of the nervous system. Lectures will be accompanied by presentation of clinical cases. Assimilation of neurotechnology to clinical practice will be discussed. In selected cases visits may be arranged to clinics and to the operating room. Lectures 2-13 may not be presented in that order.
