 This course is organized by the German Neuroscience Society (Neurowissenschaftliche Gesellschaft, NWG), a FENS member society. The goal is the introduction to neuropathological changes in the human brain from a neuroanatomical perspective. The course provides an introduction into the methods used in human neuroscience research and an opportunity for hands-on training in the preparation of thick histological sections. The anatomy of the human spinal cord, brainstem, diencephalon and telencephalon is revised in thick and thin brain sections. A staging approach to neurodegenerative diseases is used to study the pathological anatomy of the human brain and spinal cord in neurodegenerative diseases. Examples of staging procedures that will be applied during the course include the Braak’s staging of Alzheimer- related neurofibrillary changes and staging of Parkinson-related alpha-synuclein pathology in the human nervous system.

The contents of this course are complementary to the course entitled “Comparative Anatomy and Pathology of the Rodent and Human Brain” provided during the same week, where the focus is on translational neuroanatomy and pathology.
