SENSORIMOT INTEGRATION & REFLEX PHY

Catalog description

The course consists of online interactive presentations, supplemented by the reading and analysis of core research papers dealing with reflex physiology and sensorimotor integration. Learners will identify sites of sensorimotor integration in the brain and spinal cord and will learn in detail the connections between sensory and motor neurons. This will provide understanding of how sensory input can both aggravate and relieve motor signs and symptoms. This provides context for the later study of such phenomena as the dystonias and somatovisceral disorders. Pre-requisites: NEUR 5300 Review of Human Neurobiology and NEUR 5401 Advanced Functional Neuroanatomy
