Neuroanatomy & Neurophysiologyof the Speech, Language, & Hearing Mechanism
"The human brain has 100 billion neurons,each neuron connected to 10 thousand other
neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the mostcomplicated object in the known universe."
This course is designed to familiarize you with the structureand function of the central nervous system, including thebrain, brainstem, and spinal cord. We will cover regions of thecerebral cortex and brainstem, the white-matter connectionsthat allow different parts of the brain to communicate witheach other, and the mechanisms of communication betweenneurons. We will also develop a basic understanding of howblood and cerebrospinal fluid flow throughout the system andsupport the activities of the brain and central nervous system.

Read the assigned readings of the textbookcarefully and take good notes.Study the material several different ways sothat you can commit it to memory.Monitor your own learning and seek out extraresources when necessary.Participate in a study group.The material is dense. Expect to spend aminimum of 6-8 hours of work outside oflecture videos each week.Contact me as soon as possible if you haveconcerns about being able to succeed in theclass.
Identify all of the brain structures that relate tocognition and communicationExplain the functions of these structures, bothindividually and as part of a networkDraw neural pathways that subserve cognitiveand communicative functionsBe well prepared for all the graduate coursesrelevant to adult and child neurogenic disordersin the fields of Speech-Language Pathology andAudiology
By the end of the course,you will be able to: What you can expect from me
Designing activities and study questions thatwill support your learning.Timely responses to e-mails.Feedback on exams within 1 week.Transparency about what you are expected toknow for the exams.Commitment to helping each student acquirethe important concepts.Creation of an equitable classroomenvironment in which all students arerespected and able to learn.

Course overviewStudy StrategiesHistory of neuroscience
Please notify me as soon as possible if you anticipatemissing any exams for any reason.
The final grade will be composed of scores from learningactivities (drawings and brain scans), study questions,exams, and extra credit. A range of formative andsummative assessments will be utilized to documentstudent progress in the course.
We will draw brain structuresand pathways. Instructions
for each drawing will be givenin the lecture recordings.
Drawings are due by Sunday at midnight.
All drawings: 20% of grade

There will be three contentexams and one final exam.
The content exams will coverall material assigned until the
point of the exam. The final exam is cumulative.
Content exams:10% of grade (each)
Final exam: 20% of grade
Exams
We will complete activitieswith actual MRI brain scans
All exams will be open for a 3-day period (Wednesday-Friday). Studentswho miss an exam must provide justification for not completing the exambefore the deadline to be considered for a make-up exam.
Study Questions
3-5 study questions oractivities will be assignedeach week. You can work
together on them as long aseveryone's names are listed
(no more than 4 people).Each person must upload the
answers.
All questions: 20% of grade

Sample test questions can be submitted every week.At least 50% of each exam will come from submittedtest questions.

AcademicIntegrity
Accessibility Services provides academicaccommodations and support services toaddress the individual needs of studentswith differing abilities, permanentdisabilities, or temporary disablingconditions. Students with documenteddisabilities and functional limitations areeligible for services designed to provideequivalent access to all educational generalcampus and classroom programs andactivities. If you have a documenteddisability and wish to discuss academicaccommodations, or if you would needassistance in the case of an emergencyevacuation, please contact me as soon aspossible. Students with disabilities needingaccommodation should speak withAccessibility Services(www.csueastbay.edu/accessibility/).
AccessibilityServices
Effective learning in this class will benefitfrom both individual and collaborativework. You are encouraged to study andwork together on drawings, activities, andstudy questions. However, you mustcomplete and submit your own work. Students are required to uphold thestandards of academic integrity describedin the catalogat http://www.csueastbay.edu/aps/academic-policies/academic-dishonesty.html.

Community
All students are expected to demonstraterespect, compassion, and understanding whileengaging in the learning process. Support andencourage each other through this process.Students of all backgrounds should feelcomfortable in the classroom and in onlineinteractions in order for successful learning totake place. Please speak to me if you experienceany harassment, belittlement, or hostility byother students in class.
Graduation
If you are planning to graduate in thespring, apply for graduation.www.csueastbay.edu/slhs/files/docs/applying-for-graduation.pdf
Inter-professionalTeamwork
Speech-Language Pathologists require inter-professional collaboration and teamwork.Collaborative learning approaches help todevelop these skills by teaching students to beflexible, communicate effectively, listen actively,manage time and effort, and work together tosolve complex problems.
Share of course materials is prohibited.No materials used in this class including,but not limited to, lecture recordings,slides, handouts, activities, exams, reviewsheets, may be shared online or withanyone outside of the class unless you havemy explicit, written permission. Violationof this policy by a student could lead toStudent Misconduct proceedings.
