Neuroscience for Human Occupation

Catalog description

This course explores the fundamental principles of neuroscience with a focus on how neural mechanisms underlie human behavior, movement, and occupational performance. Students will examine the structure and function of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, to understand sensory processing, motor control, cognition, and emotions as they relate to daily activities. Through lectures, case studies, and practical activities, students will gain a deeper understanding of normal and abnormal neurological processes, including clinical presentation of their underlying mechanisms and lesions.
