xperimental Neuroanatomy will have a great deal of practical work. It can only take 12 students because the course is dependent on using research space for the practical work. This will be a 'double' session as the work will be run based on practical work which needs student presence in the laboratory two or three days in a row. The work will be assessed along with the intellectual content and will need both dedication and skill. The students will be taught with a small number of 'lectures', with the students presenting much of the material for each other and with the practical work being supervised by Professor Gordon Arbuthnott and Dr Cali Ingham, together with a couple of technicians who will be seconded from Research for a day or two a week.
