Summary

What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify and summarize the main sensory and motor structures within the nervous system.

  • Explain how elements in the nervous system interact to enable specific sensory and motor functions.

  • Describe how pathology in specific neural pathways leads to particular clinical neurological signs and symptoms (e.g., ischemic stroke syndromes).

  • Predict the location of damage in the nervous system based on symptoms and signs.
