Certificate in Human Physiology - Neural Basis of Sensory and Motor Function
KINE 3440 Neural Basis of Sensory and Motor Function
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the neural systems that mediate sensory and motor functions in the human. Proprioception, vision, somatosensation and vestibular sense will be explored in detail. Spinal reflexes, supraspinal pathways and cortical systems will be analyzed in detail, using case studies to illustrate key principles. Students will learn about the major classes of neurological movement disorders, from assessment to intervention. The course will build upon introductory courses in neural basis of behaviour.
