| Course Content | Nervous system which is divided as central and peripheral system is a complex system. The components of nervous system, each have different functions and different developmental properties. Different developmental and histological properties of the parts of the nervous sytem, the molecules related with nervous system development and the anomalies and/or disease related with the developmental defects of nervous system will be discussed. | |||||
