NEURAL CONTROL OF MOVEMENT

KINES 531
Course Description

Intermediate course on neuronal circuits and neurophysiological mechanisms involved in the control of human motor behavior. Including discussion of: 1) sensorimotor integration, 2) interactions between spinal, brainstem, and cerebral cortical levels of control, and 3) how motor control knowledge is created and evaluated.
