This unit consists of four sequences. The first considers the brain, the nervous system, and disorders of the brain. The second sequence deals with applications of the computer in diagnosis of brain disorders along with mathematical and statistical principles used in health applications. The third sequence is concerned with drugs and their effects on the nervous system. The final sequence deals with senses, primarily sight and hearing. The properties of light and sound of medical importance are considered. Supplementary lessons on concepts of electricity are provided. (Author/RE)
