Neuroscience for Physical Therapy.

Catalog description

This course is designed to prepare clinicians to better understand the neurological control of human behavior. A systems approach is used to examine the major anatomical and physiological principles and mechanisms by which the nervous system controls behavior under normal and pathological conditions. Because the course is being taught to health care professionals, clinical correlates of each system will also be presented. One class session is dedicated to presentation of human gross anatomical specimens.
