From Macroscopy to Histology: Organization of the Central Nervous System
The human brain remains one of the most complex and fascinating structures in medicine and biology. Understanding its macroscopic and microscopic organisation is fundamental not only for future clinicians but also for students in neuroscience and biomedical research. To address this need, the Medical Winterschool Rostock offers a hands-on opportunity to explore the central nervous system (CNS) through guided dissections, histological workshops, and lectures on major neurological disorders. Through collaboration with ERASMUS partner institutions and the United Neurocampus Lund–Rostock, this initiative supports cross-border academic integration and highlights Rostock as a hub for neuroscience and health-tech research.
General learning outcomes
- Deep insight into the structural and functional organisation of the CNS
- Neuroanatomical knowledge through human brain dissection
- Introduce students to neuropathological concepts and neurological disease patterns
- Promote international exchange among students in medicine and related disciplines
