Undergraduate

The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the neural signaling, sensory processing, and nervous system pathways involved in human movement. Topics include nerve cell properties, functions of the proprioceptive, visual, and vestibular systems, as well as spinal circuits, descending pathways, and supraspinal contributions to movement. Course content will be applied to further student’s understanding of movement-related neuropathologies. PREREQUISITE: Kinesiology 1320, Kinesiology 2510, and Biology 1220 Three lecture hours
