neuroscience (M8105)

These are summarized notes for the important concepts in neuroscience for physical therapy. Goes into detail about general functional systems (sensory, motor, association). Describes parts of the cerebrum, cerebellum, spine, and accessory structures. Shows how the neural pathways and tracts are used by the CNS for communication. Also included is the vascular system, optic nerve system, olfactory system, gustatory system, auditory system, and vestibular system. Lectures: Nerve Tissue, Organi...

Neural pathways and tracts of the motor system are explored. It looks at muscle force, motor unit recruitment, disorders, diseases, muscle receptors, reflexes, sensorimotor systems, motor control, outputs and inputs, lesions of the nervous system, oculomotor system, and functional anatomy of the brain. Lectures: Introduction to the Motor System Motor Unit & Muscle Action Spinal Reflexes and Locomotion Voluntary Movement (Cerebral Cortex) Oculomotor System, Vestibular System, Postur...
