Neuroanatomy is a compulsory course of the second year (3rd semester) of Integrated Undergraduate and Graduate University Study of Medicine in English. It is consisted of 16 hours of lectures, 12 hours of seminars and 12 hours of practicles, a total of 40 hours (3 ECTS).

The course objective is to acquire knowledge about the organization and the structure of gray and white matter within the central nervous system. Except the latter, the goal of the course is to teach students how nerve impulses are transferred from the central nervous system to the target organ and vice versa. Students will also acquire knowledge of the inner ear, sensory areas that are located there and about retina of the eye bulb.

Course content: Arrangement and functional organization of the gray and the white matter of the spinal cord; an overview of arrangement and functional organization of the gray and the white matter of the brain stem; arrangement and functional organization of the grey and white matter of the cerebellum; an overview of the diencephalon nuclei; pituitary and neurosectional systems; telecephalon (telencephalon medium, hemisphere, rhinencephalon); arrangement and functional organization of the gray and the white matter of the telecephalon; limbic system; reflex arc; non specific sensory pathways; specific sensory pathways; motor pathways; reticular formation; an autonomic nervous system (basic principle of structure and function), the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system; the parasympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system; inner layer of the eye bulb (retina); inner ear.

ECTS Grading System: Student grading will be conducted according to the current Ordinance on Studies of the University of Rijeka (approved by the Senate) and the Ordinance on Student Grading at the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka (approved by the Faculty Council).

Student work will be assessed and graded during the course and on the final exam. During the course, a student may achieve up to 50% of the grade and at the final exam up to 50% of the grade, too. Students are graded according to the ECTS credit (A-D) and numeric (1-5) system.

Students are obliged to attend all forms of teaching during the course and may be absent from 30% of the classes. If a student is absent for more than 30% of the classes, he will not receive a signature and will have to re-enter the course. Also, a student who gains less than 25 credits must re-enter the course.

During the course, students are awarded credits by taking two midterm exams. If a student does not pass a midterm exam, he may take the makeup midterm exam on the announced date. Each midterm has its own makeup date.

I. Assessment and grading during the course Assessment will be carried out through two midterm exams:

1. Functional organization of gray and white matter of the central nervous system

2. Functional systems of the central nervous system Midterm is a writen exam.

Each midterm exam is comprised of 50 questions. Midterm exams are graded as follows:

II. Requirements for the final exam:

➢ A student who attended classes in accordance with the Ordinance on Studies of the University of 8 Rijeka. ➢ A student who gained at least 25 out of maximum 50 credits at midterms.

III. Grading on the final exam:

The final exam is an oral exam and it is graded as follows:

The final grade consists of the sum of credits gained during the course and on the final oral exam. Grading within the ECTS grading system is carried out with an absolute distribution, i.e. based on the final achievement:

A – (90 - 100%) EXCELLENT (5)

B – (75 - 89,9%) VERY GOOD (4)

C – (60 - 74,9%) GOOD (3)

D – (50 - 59,9%) SUFFICIENT (2)

F – (0 - 49,9%) INSUFFICIENT (1)

The numeric grading system, compared to the ECTS grading system, is as follows: A = excellent (5) B = very good (4) C = good (3) D = sufficient (2) F = insufficient (1)
