SENSORY AND MOTOR SYSTEMS

2 credits.

Overview of the basic science principles of sensory and motor systems in the central and peripheral nervous system, with clinicians providing complementary presentations on their relevant experiences in the clinic. Topics include Somatosensory pathways in spinal cord, brainstem and cerebrum, Motor neurons in spinal cord and brainstem and the descending systems that control them, Blood Supply of the CNS and affiliated vascular syndromes, Cerebellum, Basal Ganglia and associated pathways, Eye Movement control, Vestibular, Auditory, and Visual systems and organization of Cerebral Cortex.
