| Description | This is a case study for undergraduate and professional degree students in anatomy, physiology and/or pharmaceutical sciences. In particular this case study explores the anatomy of the central nervous system, major motor and sensory tracts. Integrative physiology courses may use this case to incorporate the immune, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Users of the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science will be required to register (free) to gain access to the answer key (and must be of teaching status to receive the key). Included in the resource are the case overview, objectives, case study, teaching notes and answer key. | |||

A case study that can be used when teaching the CNS. The students can see the application.

Great case study! I used a similar study in my upper level A&P II course. The information involves current trends in physiology today. I will try to use this one in my one semester course.
—Adrienne Bratcher, University of Louisville
This case study is highly relevant to college students and the teacher resources are highly organized and clear. A teacher guide and answer key is provided. I am always looking for relevant case studies and this one (though I haven't used it yet in class) appears to be very well constructed.

This case study is well presented and involves discussion of the brain, spinal cord tracts, sensory and motor nerves and concussion! It does spark an interest in students to explore the mechanisms and pathways involved in the damage to the nervous system. Quite a bit of discussion was generated in an upper undergraduate physiology class!
