This course consists of an exciting three-day anatomical dissection of the brain and spinal cord, as well as a compelling review of recent advances in functional neuroscience. Participants will work in groups (3) and will be allotted three afternoons to perform regional dissections on embalmed human cadaveric material. The faculty will consist of neuroscientists and clinicians qualified and experienced as neuroanatomical instructors. Faculty members will guide 12 hours of dissection in the afternoons. These sessions will be complemented by three morning lecture sessions enriched by slide, video, computer animation and microscopic presentations.

Enrollment fee is $750 per person. Fee includes all breaks, lunches, and the Friday evening dinner at on of Milwaukee's fine restaurants. Fee also covers all course materials including handouts, use of dissection tools, aprons, cadaver, and anatomy and dissection texts. Please bring clothes and shoes appropriate for dissection.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Housing on the MU campus is available at a modest fee for a single room and double room. Please note: these are very basic residence hall accommodations. You may call 414-288-7208 for more information or reservations. If you would prefer hotel accommodations, a list of nearby hotels will be sent when we receive your registration.
LOCATION/PARKING
Morning lectures will be held in room 111 of the Emory Clark Hall. Afternoon sessions will be held in the Dissection Laboratory of the Walter Schroeder Health Sciences Education Complex. Parking is available for a fee of $5/day in parking structure #1. The entrance is located on 16th Street just north of Wisconsin Avenue. Please call Parking Services at 414-288-6911 for additional parking information.
CREDIT
21 CE credits will be awarded to psychologists upon completion of this course. [Marquette University College of Health Sciences is approved by the American Psychological Association to offer continuing education for psychologists. Marquette University College of Health Sciences maintains responsibility for this program.] Disciplines such as physical and occupational therapy requiring CE Unites will receive appropriate credit (2.1 CEU).
SUBSTITUTIONS/REFUNDS
If you cannot attend, you may call to substitute another person. If you must withdraw, a full refund (minus a $10 administrative fee) will be issued if you do so at least 2 full working days before the first meeting of the course. Marquette University reserves the right to cancel an educational program due to insufficient enrollment. Because of the sensitive nature of cadaveric dissection, those without prior experience may wish to consult with the course director prior to enrollment. (William E. Cullinan 414-288-6764).
William E. Cullinan, Ph.D., Course Director, received his bachelor's degree in physical therapy from Marquette University and his doctorate in neuroscience from the University of Virginia. Following a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Michigan, he joined the faculty in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Marquette in 1995. He also holds an adjunct faculty position in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Cullinan has established an active research laboratory investigating the neural circuitry mediating stress responsiveness, currently funded by the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD), and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The author of many research papers and book chapters, he presently teaches anatomy and neuroanatomy to undergraduate and professional students, and to medical students and residents.
David A. Baker, Ph.D., will serve as lecturer in the course. Dr. Baker received a doctorate from Arizona State University and completed postdoctoral training at the Medical University of South Carolina. He joined the faculty in the department of Biomedical Sciences at Marquette University in 2002, and has established an active research program concerned with mechanisms of addiction and drug abuse.
Subhash C. Bhatnagar, M.S.-CCC (SPL), Ph.D., will serve as a lecturer and laboratory instructor in the course. Dr. Bhatnagar received his master's degree in speech pathology from SUNY-Buffalo and master's and doctorate degrees in neorolinguistics from the University of Rochester. He is an Associate Professor at Marquette University and teaches in the area of neurogenic disorders of communication in the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology. He has published numerous research articles, book chapters, and books in neuroscience and neurolinguistics. His research concerns functional mapping of the human brain.
Edward W. Carroll, M.S., Ph.D., will coordinate the laboratory sessions and will serve as a laboratory faculty member for the dissections. Dr. Carroll received his bachelor's and master's degree in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and a Ph.D. in anatomy from the Medical College of Wisconsin. He has conducted research on the visual system at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Carroll is currently on the faculty in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Marquette University and teaches gross anatomy and neuroanatomy. He is the author of several chapters concerning vision and the nervous system, and his present research involves gene-related defects of the nervous system.
James P. Herman, Ph.D., will serve as lecturer and laboratory faculty member. Dr. Herman received his doctorate in neurobiology from the University of Rochester and completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Michigan. He is presently Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Cincinnati Medical School. Dr. Herman is the director of a neurobiology laboratory supported by several grants from the National Institute of Health and the National Science Foundation to examine stress effects upon the limbic system, and the function of stress hormones in the context of mental illness. He has authored numerous research papers and chapters, and has taught anatomy and neurobiology to medical and graduate students.
