INTRODUCTORY NEUROSCIENCE

KINES 779

Multidisciplinary seminar on human muscle function in health and disease. The course is geared toward advanced undergraduate and graduate students in kinesiology, physical and occupational therapy, motor control and behavior, neurophysiology resident in neurology and other related allied health professionals.

KINES 531

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.

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.

KINES 721

How the central nervous system organizes skilled human performance. Evolution of neuromuscular mechanisms, subserving skills, and the causes and limitations of movement at high speeds and high levels of force.

KINES 570

Structure, regions and function of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems are presented with the purpose of providing insight into the anatomical foundations of common injuries and conditions.
