SENSORY AND MOTOR SYSTEMS

NEURODPT 747
Course Description

Overview of the basic science principles of sensory and motor systems in the central and peripheral nervous system, with clinicians providing complementary presentations on their relevant experiences in the clinic. Topics include Somatosensory pathways in spinal cord, brainstem and cerebrum, Motor neurons in spinal cord and brainstem and the descending systems that control them, Blood Supply of the CNS and affiliated vascular syndromes, Cerebellum, Basal Ganglia and associated pathways, Eye Movement control, Vestibular, Auditory, and Visual systems and organization of Cerebral Cortex.

SYSTEMS NEUROSCIENCE

NEURODPT/NTP/PSYCH 611

Introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the mammalian nervous system. Lectures will cover the neuroanatomy of the major subdivisions of the human brain, the major sensory and motor systems, and higher order functions. Lab/discussion sections will emphasize readings from the primary literature and hands-on dissections.

INTRODUCTORY NEUROSCIENCE

KINES 200

Entry-level course provides a systematic introduction to the mammalian nervous system, with emphasis on the structure and function of the human brain. Topics include the function of nerve cells, sensory systems, control of movement, learning and memory, and diseases of the nervous system. The foundational knowledge covered in this course serves students interested in health sciences majors, as well as non-science students interested in neuroscience and its relation to human health, wellness, and disease.

NEURAL BASIS OF NORMAL AND PATHOLOGICAL MOVEMENT

KINES 713

In-depth look at anatomic, neurophysiological, behavioral, and clinical aspects of motor control under normal and pathological conditions. Movement disorders include sensory neuropathy, cerebral cortical or brain stem stroke, basal ganglia dysfunction, and cerebellar disease.
