ES 343 - Movement Neuroscience with Lab

This course is an integrative discipline of human neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and behavioral neuroscience. Emphasis is placed on the basic morphology of functional anatomical and physiological concepts relevant to the organization, execution and control of movement. The integration of sensory and motor systems, learning, memory, and skill acquisition are investigated. Pathophysiological aspects underpinning movement disorders are explored. Within the laboratory component, students design, implement and evaluate a behavioral neuroscience research project. Movement related research designs range from simple reaction time studies to complex postural control studies. Other topics include: practice design, kinesthesis, fine motor coordination, tracking, optical impression, and sensory integration/manipulation.

Prerequisites: ES 224 - Research Methods and Data Interpretation and Exercise Science major.
Credits: 3
