KIN5514H: Human Sensory and Motor Neurophysiology

The objective of the course is for students to develop of a comprehensive knowledge of the neural networks underlying the processes of perception and action from the micro to the macroscopic levels. Topics include: neural anatomy and physiology, neurotransmitters, cortical and subcortical structures of the central nervous system, and neurophysiological techniques employed to study the structure and function of the human nervous system. Students will then use the principles and theories uncovered during the course to develop an appreciation of neural dysfunctions leading to a cognitive or motor disorder of their choosing.
