Neuroscience: Sensory Systems

3 units

This course examines transduction and neural processing of various sensory inputs, including vision, audition, somatosensation, and special senses. Topics ranging from anatomy and physiology of the human sensory systems to the sensory plasticity will be discussed. Topics also include organization of sensory map, sensory reorganization, sensory integration, sensory-motor interactions and higher cognitive functions. We also discuss clinical aspects of sensory dysfunctions. We will explore landmark works and recent studies on sensory neurosciences.
