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: Completion of Mathematics Mode or STAT 190 - Basic Statistics  and ES 224 - Research Methods and Data Interpretation  and Exercise Science major.
