ES 343 - Movement Neuroscience

             Lecturer & Laboratory Instructor

                        Jeremy J. Houser, PhD

                                        jhouser@truman.edu

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 will design, implement and evaluate a behavioral neuroscience research project. Movement related research designs will range from simple reaction time studies to complex postural control studies.
